Answers:
It could be due to many reasons,
1. Vitamin C deficiency, take enough citrus fruits to compensate.
2. gingivitis that is infection of gum you may need antibiotics.
3. Some minor cut (less likely to be the cause).
So first rule out the cause then go for solution. Enough Vitamin C, a soft tooth brush and flossing will probably work.Health Question & Answer
