Firstly you must try and give up tobacco. The white lines may be oral submucus fibrosis (osmf) seen in people who chew tobacco. Consult a dentist near you who can examine you and see if some treatment is required. Add antioxidant multivitamin tablet to your diet. For bleeding of gums you require scaling and polishing ( cleaning of teeth) and then Home maintainence
