Hello sir..
your clinical picture shows deposits between your teeth.... As your anterior teeth is crowding there will be difficulty in cleaning the deposits by normal tooth brush and the rate of deposits will be little more..you need to go to dentist for complete cleaning( scaling and polishing) of your teeth
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management

Please check about the tooth brush you are using. You should use a soft brush. Tartar deposits are on tooth gum junction and irritates the soft gums and cause bleeding during brushing. Please check with a dentist nearby. It may also be due to severe crowding in your anterior teeth. Take proper advice from dentist

Bleeding gums is sign of your of gum infection which occurs because of tartar/ deposit formation on your teeth surface.
There two types of deposits...supra gingival means deposit which are present above gum line and are visible. Second type is sub-gingival where deposites are present below gum line and therefore they are not visible.
Kindly visit dentist. he/ she will examine for both supra and sub gingival deposit and will advice you necessary treatment.
Bleeding will reduce after treatment.
Next Steps
visit dentist
Health Tips
I can see there is overlapping of lower teeth on one another. so even if you brush properly, you will not be able to remove food particles 100%. so get professional teeth cleaning g done at least once in 6months.
