Your teeth do not bleed. Your gums are bleeding because you are 1. brushing too hard 2. You have irritation or 3 you have gum disease. Make an appointment with your local dentist for a check up and cleaning. Keep brushing and flossing in the meantime. Don't let blood stop you from dental hygiene!! It is a warning something isn't right
Sound like you have a problem with your gums. Most often, it is gingivitis, which is a bacterial infection of the mouth. It could be other things, too. You should see a dentist and have it checked.
Your teeth are not bleeding, your gum tissue is...from inflammation. A visit to your dentist for a cleaning will help. They will tell you what to do from there.
There can be systemic reasons and, if so, consult with your primary care. However, the most common cause is poor hygiene and untreated periodontal disease.
