Brief Answer:
gum infection, bleedind disorder, scaling

Detailed Answer:
thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
the bleeding from the front teeth region could be because of the gingival or gum infection secondary to deposits around the teeth or any gingival polyp or pyogenic granuloma. it can also be because of any bleeding or clotting disorders like thrombocytopenia.
consult your oral physician and get yourself examined and rule out the above mentioned conditions.

if i am your treating doctor i would have advised scaling (cleaning of teeth), then advised blood investigations like BT, CT, INR And platelet count to rule out any bleeding disorders. you should maintain good oral hygiene after getting your teeth cleaned, you can use mouth wash.
if it is because of pyogeninc granuloma or gingival polyp or pulp polyp, it should be surgically excised.
i hope my answer will help you. take care.
if any queries are there reply me back.
