Your gums may bleed.
It is common for gums to bleed during brushing but if the problem persists contact your dentists. Bleeding can be caused by Gingivitis (inflammation) or periodontitis.
I was told by my dentist that, contrary to instinct, when your gums bleed, you need to brush more, not less. Healthy gums should not bleed with normal brushing, along with looking a healthy pink hue.
No, but if you have sensitive gums it will bleed. Sensetive gums may be caused by lack of brushing or having dental treatment.
No, it is not good to make your gums bleed when you have gingivitis. Bleeding gums indicate inflammation and infection, which can worsen if not treated properly. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, such as regular brushing and flossing, and consult a dentist for appropriate treatment to reduce inflammation and promote gum health.
Brushing your gums twice a day is the best way to protect your gums.

Floss on a daily basis. Bloody gums are a sign of gingivitis.
One of the earliest signs of gum disease, or gingivitis, is gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing. You may also notice your gums are redder, swollen, and feel tender to the touch, often without any pain.
There are several types of gum diseases. The first is called gingivitis, which can, without treatment and care, become the more advanced version called periodontitis. Gingivitis is relatively easy to fix, but can be prevented through proper brushing and flossing techniques. Another gum problem, although it is not a disease, is called receding gums. This is when the gums slowly pull away from the teeth. It occurs from one of two ways: overbrushing or not brushing enough. You can tell if you have gingivitis or periodontitis if your gums are red, swollen, and bleed to the touch. Receding gums can be identified when too much of the tooth is exposed, and the tooth is too far into the gums.
Healthy gums should appear pink and firm, with a smooth texture. They should not be swollen, red, or bleed during brushing or flossing. Gums should fit snugly around the teeth, providing a protective barrier. Any significant changes in color or texture may indicate potential dental issues and should be evaluated by a dental professional.
