Clean, occlusion: Cleaning your teeth, brush hard with soft toothbrush at the gum, and go to the dentist to check the occlusion. Was it hitting in the back every time you bite down or swallow? Relieved this occlusion by grinding the back of the top teeth or the top of opposing teeth. If bleeding persist, laser can be used. Followed up and treat periodontally. If pain occurs, check for nerve inflammation.

See a dentist ASAP: Bleeding and swollen gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, advanced gum disease. Untreated gingivitis can lead to the tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome.

See a dentist: Bleeding gums are a sign of an infection. What did your dentist recommend for treatment? Good brushing and flossing will help to control the redness and swelling. A dentist needs to examine, diagnose and treat this problem.

Call your dentist: Call your dentist, you stated that you were just at the dentist. What was done? Depending on the procedure, there may be some discomfort. Try speaking with the dentist to alleviate your symptoms. Perhaps, this is residual from work that was done, either restorative or periodontal.
