May be your gums: Many patients observe bleeding in their mouth after they brush their teeth. This common condition is frequently due to periodontal disease. Although other conditions can create this condition i would recommend you first see your dentist for a routine examination and cleaning. If the condition is dentally related it can be diagnosed and treated providing you with an answer as to its origin.

See your dentist: The blood problably is coming from your gums and and is in yur throat when you look. If yor gums are bleeding the most liely cause is gum disease and is treated by a dentist.

Gum Disease: You have not given me a lot of information, but i can safely say that bleeding gums associated with tooth brushing generally means some form of gum disease. I'd see your dentist asap for a comprehensive exam, so a definitive diagnosis can be made and your treatment options be discussed!
