Brief Answer:
Usually happens due to plaque

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Bleeding of the gums usually happens due to plaque deposition on teeth. To get it removed you will need to see a dentist. You should also take vitamin C tablets. Also use mouthwash for dental hygiene.

An uncommon cause can be bleeding disorders. Thus if it does not stop, then you will need to get tested for them.

I think there is not much to worry and dentist should be able to help you.
