Unless the fillings have heavy margins or rough surfaces they are probably not causative factors in the presence of bleeding. Bleeding gums means that there is inflammation present and is most likely due to ineffective home care. Please go a see your dentist, get your teeth cleaned and follow their insruction.

Do you floss or WaterPik daily? Daily!!! If not, bleeding probably indicates periodontal (gum) disease (infection/inflammation). Fillings don't bleed. Teeth don't bleed. Diseased gums do bleed if you are using medium or hard bristled t'brush, brushing less than 2 full minutes BY THE CLOCK 2x/day, or not having a professional cleaning 2x/year. Please see your Dentist, not your computer.
