See your dentist: You are most likely bleeding from gingivitis, minor gum disease. Brushing properly twice a day and flossing once a day is the best defense you have against gingivitis. With all this, you still need to see your dentist twice per year for a professional cleaning.

Dental checkup.: If you brush your teeth regularly than your gums should not bleed. When was the last time you had a dental checkup and periodontal cleaning? Because if it has been a long time since your cleaning than just brushing is not getting the job done. Heavy tarter buildup is not removed by just brushing your teeth. You need to get your teeth cleaned and checked.

Floss regularly: True gingivitis, limited to just inflammation in the gums, can be reversed with good oral care and regular dental visits. You want to get it checked though to make sure it hasn't progressed to the more serious form of periodontitis.
