Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have blood while brushing this can be due to improper oral hygiene , deposition of food debris in subgingival areas of gums , or inflamation in gums dont be worried so much I will advise you to consult dentist and go for visual examination and scaling and root planning.
In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, use mouthwash chlorhexidine regularly .
Hope this will help you.
