Why do your gums bleed when you brush? Its NOT haemophilia, cancer or any of the crazy diseases listed above.
YOUR gums are very inflamed. This happens when your gums react to bad bacteria growing under your gums.
plaque, that white gooey stuff that grows on your teeth everyday after you eat, is made of bacteria.
It grows on your teeth and grows under your gums. your gums don't like plaque so they get all red swollen and puffy. They bleed easily when this happens.
The only way to get rid of it is to make your gums healthy again. You do this by getting rid of the bacteria.
You can do this by jiggling your toothbrush bristles slightly under your gums on every single tooth when you brush your teeth. At first your gums will bleed, but when your gums realise that there is no more bacteria anymore they will start to heal up and when you brush your gums normally they won't bleed.
I hope that wasn't too long

As hard as you try, accidents involving the mouth may happen, especially during childhood. When bumps, falls, and collisions occur, here’s what to do:
Save a knock out: Pick up the tooth by the crown, avoiding the roots, rinse it off, and place in milk, if possible. Hurry to a dentist or emergency room; they might be able to reinsert the tooth. On the way, apply firm pressure to the bleeding site with a piece of clean gauze.
People with hemophilia should always wear mouth guards when they play sports.
Note: Hemophilia Galaxy does not recommend a particular treatment for specific individuals and recommends that you consult your hemophilia treatment center or physician before pursuing any course of treatment. Use of antifibrolytic agents is not recommended for inhibitor patients using Factor VIII bypassing therapy, due to the increased possibility of thrombotic risk.

The type of brush must be hard. Try using a soft one. also chnage you brusg after 3 months. Dont press the brush too hard.
WOrse yet you might have a gum problem. Make sure you have an intake of Vitamin C like orange its good for gum..and masticate your gums with your hands after you brush its good for your gums

You need to see a dentist. This may be a sign of gingivitis. Bleeding at the gums is not good.

Rinse with Hydrogen Peroxide water. It works also you can rinse with salt water. Just don't swallow. Hydrogen Peroxide makes your teeth white too. Been doing it for years... Just not every day
I am 44 and haven't been to the dentist since I was 20 and all is well.

you may either be brushing to hard or you might need a soft bristle brush instead of a hard one. Also im not trying to scare you but ask your docter you might have cancer cuz same thing happened to my aunt and she found out she had cancer.

You may be deficient of Vitamin C. Consult a dentist or a physician.
