Hello!Thank you for posting here.

Do not reduce brushing just because they bleed.Brush gently.Do not worry.This can reduce once you get professional scaling done.
Get scaling done every 6 months.Maintain a good oral hygiene.You must see your dentist.Use mouthwash daily till you get scaling.After scaling, you can use it thrice a week as maintenance dose.Use gumtone gel or powder thrice daily.Apply it on the gums,leave it for 5 minutes and you can wash it off.

Regards.
