Hello!Read your query.

Tartar, calculus,stains and plaque on teeth are common causes of gum bleeding.
Once plaque hardens to calculus, it cannot be removed using toothbrush and other home remedies.

Get a professional scaling done. the number of sittings required for your teeth can be determined after assessing your oral hygiene.

Keep your blood sugar under good control.

After scaling, you have to follow a proper oral care regime.
Brushing twice in the right method.
Floss once a day.
Mouthwash thrice a week.
Scaling every 6 months.
Irritated gums lead to periodontal disease which may lead to loose teeth and fall off.

Regards.
