Could be signs of periodontal disease. I have it and my gums used to bleed a lot. Ask your dentist about it, you may need to get the roots of your teeth planed. Then regular cleanings every six months. I use a Sonicare Toothbrush with a small head, and haven't had trouble since I started using it. Plus flossing.
