First - how long have you been using your toothbrush and is it hard hair? If it's hard - change to soft.

Second - keep it gentle. Scrubbing your teeth like mad isn't good for the outer layer, when that wears off you'll get all these sensitive pains and trust me - that's really a pain. I myself have that problem when I don't apply some force to my brush I don't feel I'm really cleaning my teeth properly, but actually you don't need a lot of force at all. So keep it gentle.

Third - Vitamin C. I know it's like really common to hear about it, but go through your daily diets and see if you're taking enough. Your Vitamin C intake does depend on your age, but around 60-80mg a day might be good. In any case, it helps with problems like that and prevents scurvy.

And if all doesn't work - you might want to mention that to the dentist. Especially if this happens everytime you brush your teeth.

It depends on whether this is something that came about recently or has been consistent. If you've accidentally scraped or damaged your gums, it may be a matter of waiting for your gums to heal.

If you don't frequently brush or floss, that could be a sign of Periodontal Disease. Before you go to a dentist, you may want to try getting some simple mouthwash and try flossing regularly after every meal. If your gums are tender and aren't used to flossing, they'll bleed.

In the mean time, the bleeding means there's an open wound or sore, so you'll most likely want to stay away from any sugar. If you do, rinse your mouth out with water as soon as you're finished eating.

I've suffered from this: here's what you do. I brush your teeth gently after each meal and floss them once a day. Use a mouthwash after each brushing. Mouth's heal quickly so the problem should go away in 2 or 3 days. If it doesn't see a dentist, dont delay, prolonged bvleeding after brushing could indicate a problem with your gums that needs special medication and which if left unattended could cause you to lose your teeth.

Don't worry about it too much. Mine do the same thing. How often do you brush your teeth? If you brush often, then it could be that you're just being too rough on your gums. If you don't brush very often, then you might have a mild case of gingivitis. This can be easily cleared up by brushing a bit more often. However, do not let true gingivitis get severe!

You might have gingivitis (trouble with your gums). You need to see a dentist, so make an appointment. Do not put it off! It will not clear up on its own. And don't waste your time with home remedies. If you are bleeding while brushing, then your gums are overly sensitive and the dentist should assess the situation.

Good luck.

Sounds like you have Gingivitis.

This can be cured by simply using an anti-gingivitis toothpaste.

You should go see a dentist just in case it is something more serious.

Could be you are not getting enough vitamins, especially vitamin C.
Or you could be brushing too hard.
Or you don't floss enough.
Could be gum disease.
Otherwise, see a dentist.
