How do I stop my gums from bleeding when I brush?

Every time I brush my teeth my gums are bleeding. What could be the cause? How can I stop my gums from bleeding when I brush?

Your gums aren’t bleeding because of anything you’re doing with your brushing, they’re bleeding because you have gum disease that needs treatment as soon as possible. You need to see a dentist ASAP to have your gum condition diagnosed so treatment can be delivered properly. You also likely have deposits under your gum line that need removal by a dentist/good hygienist after your diagnosis.
Gums bleed when inflamed. Make sure your teeth are professionally cleaned at least 6 monthly and be sure to maintain gum health by brushing where the gum meets the tooth and do not miss the gum line.
Cannot directly answer your question. This could be technique or actual gum disease. If you have not seen a dentist within the past year, it might be a good idea. Bleeding gums are not normal.
