Swollen: Swollen, bleeding painful gums are some symptoms....Initiate better more knowledgeable ways to clean your teeth & stimulate your gums to a healthier state are some solutions. Technique is important. A couple minute lesson for proper brushing & more importantly flossing would go a long way for a remedy.

Bleeding gums.: If your gums bleed when you brush, floss or "poke" with a toothpic between your teeth you probably have gingivits, or worse...Periodontitis. See a dentist right away to assess the need for treatment. Could be simple, or quite complex.

Gums that bleed: Gingivitis is the beginning stages, and by definition, your gums are inflamed, and you might see them bleed when you brush and floss. If this is left untreated, then the infection moves deeper into the jaw, and it progresses to the more severe, periodontal disease.
