No: Bleeding anywhere in the body is not normal. See your dentist for an examination to determine your exact problem and develop a good solution. You may have gingivitis or periodontal disease which only will get worse if untreated. World health organization study shows a majority of adults have gum disease!

NO !!!: You are either brushing too hard or your gums are infected and need treatment. See your friendly neighborhood dentist!
