Gum bleeding indicates inflammation of the gums. Ideally you should visit a dental clinic and get a cleaning done. At home - make sure you are brushing well and flossing is a must ! A warm salt water rinse can also help to draw out the inflammation. These are temporary measures and dental treatment is necessary for definitive relief.
