What can treat bleeding gums and bad breath?

Poor oral hygiene: Most commonly, the answer is inadequate oral hygiene. The plaque/bacteria accumulate on your teeth and under the gums and causes an infection called gingivitis, and in more advanced stages, periodontitis. This can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Go see your dentist today.

See a dentist: Bleeding gums and bad breath are a sign of periodontal disease. You need to see a dentist and be evaluated for the prescence of periodontal disease. The dentist will then formulate a treatment plan to treat the periodontal disease. Proper oral hygiene home care and regular dental checkups are essential to keep periodontal disease under control. Flossing is just as important as brushing.

Dental Cleaning: The two things you mentioned are red flags telling me you need to see a dentist to get your teeth and gums checked and cleaned. They can give you instructions on how to properly take care of your teeth and give you tips on your breath.
