A simple cleaning of your teeth by scaling and polishing at dental clinic may help you with the problem. If the problem sustains even after the treatment, bleeding gums have got other systemic reasons too.. so have to be diagnosed for underlying problem.

Hi. Your problem seems to be bleeding gums due to deposition of plaque and tartar. It should be a cause of concern for you because gum disease if unattended to can lead to other problems such as sensitive teeth, loose teeth, bad breath and bone loss. The treatment is usually a simple dental cleaning procedure, called scaling and polishing.
