Is it bad that my gums bleed?

Question

Answer 1

It sounds like you may have some gingivitis.  If you have not had a dental checkup and cleaning within the last six months, you should have that done.  (Gingivitis can lead to periodontitis which is loss and destruction of the tissues which support the teeth... that is what is important to have regular cleanings and checkups.)  Take care.
