Inflammation: You are either brushing your teeth too firmly or using a hard bristle brush, need soft. Or your gums are inflamed from gingivitis or more serious periodontal disease. This can involve loosing bone. Have your dentist examine your teeth and gums. It can often times be reversed.

Gingivitis: That means inflamed gums , swollen, and when brushed it opens the sores and start bleeding, do you floss?, brushing alone is not enough, see a dentist for exam and may be professional cleaning after medications taken for that infection..

Infection: Your gums bleed because there is an infection in your gum tissue. Gingivitis can easily treated by seeing a dentist. If untreated this can cause you to loose bone support around your teeth and loosening teeth. The toxins can also get i to your bloodstream and effect your heart and the rest of your body. See a dentist.
