Many possibilities: Many different blood disorders can cause bleeding gums such as leukemia, thrombocytopenia, or lymphoma. Scurvy, a vitamin c deficiency, is also characterized by gingival bleeding.

Many causes: You should first start with a visit to your local dentist who can examine you and determine if the cuase is dentally related, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. If there are no dentally related issues, consult with your physician for a complete physical.

See Dentist and do:: 1) use a soft manual toothbrush. 2) place the brush where the teeth and the gum join together. 3) move the brush in circles. 4) do all teeth this way on the face side and the tongue side. 5) initially the gum may bleed because you are cleaning out an open sore, however this bleeding will stop and the tissue will now begin to heal. 6) follow up with a water pik spraying water in circles same places.
