Answers:
Gums bleed when they are weak. Either you have gum disease or you just need to floss more. When I began to floss everyday or so, the bleeding stopped. My dentist friend said that the crap builds up in the space between your teeth and gets the gums infected. Keep that space clear and in a week your gums should bleed less. He also suggested (as did my othrodontist and personal dentist) to gargle with warm salt water to help.

Bleeding gums are a sign of gum disease, your gums are inflammed most likely as a result of poor brushing and a build up of plaque. You need to get them cleaned by a dentist or hygienist, although it hurts you must keep brushing and do it thoroughly, you need to brush through the bleeding, dont go easier. Brush twice daily for at least 2 mins and floss or use inter-dental brushesHealth Question & Answer

I think there are antibiotic strips (or something like that) that can be placed in your gums by your dental professional. This might help clear up the infection that is present in your gums.
