Get checked: Many possibilities, but the most likely is the presence of periodontal disease, a gram negative anaerobic rod bacterial infection of the gum and bone. See a dentist.

Gingivitis: The blood mixed with the saliva can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. The bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, forms a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. This is a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!
