You may not be brushing properly or using too hard of a toothbrush. Buy a soft bristle brush and brush your teeth at a 45 degree angle along the gumline for at least 2 minutes. Do not use alot of pressure. Flossing will also help. If you don't particularly like the strong taste of mouthwash, mix it with 2/3 mouthwash to 1/3 water. Drink plenty of water and get regular checkups. Good luck!

I heard a man say once, "yea, my gums have always bled when I brush them"! I said, "If your arm bled every day would you be concerned?"
Your gums should not bleed when you brush them.
Get a professional cleaning by a liscenced dental hygienist at your Dentist office.
Buy a power tooth brush-I like oral B. It doesn't have to be expensive-get a battery one and change the batteries every 6 months (do the same time you go in for a professional cleaning) along with the brush head!
Use Listerine 2x a day, try flossing, go deep under gums, make like the letter C and go on each side of the tooth under gums. Do this and your gums will not bleed :-)
IF YOUR gums bleed profusely see your MD!

I used to. I got a soft bristle tooth brush and started flossing. If your gums bleed when you floss at first they will still bleed and may hurt some. But after a few days your gums will improve and stop bleeding. Also, use Listerine or a peroxide and water wash once a day.

The only time your gums should bleed is if you are flossing to aggressively and cut the gum, or use to hard of bristled tooth brush. Gums only bleed when they are sick, if they bleed daily seek your dentist and get a good cleaning.

Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry. My gums bleed because of the bristles of the brush.

No, and you shouldnt either. This means you arnt brushing well enough, or often enough. You should be using a soft brush too.
