Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain bleeding during brushing teeth commonly occurs due to infection in gums also known as Gingivitis..
It can be due to Infectious deposits over the teeth leading to infection and inflammation causing bleeding..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and get Scaling done followed by Medication like antibiotics and gum paint massage..
Do warm saline gargles..

Hope this helps..
