Dear smashinwater***
the only time teeth bleed, is when you fly out at night, when all humans are sleeping and you start feeeeeeeaaaasting on human blood!! ha!ha!
When it comes to bleeding 'gums', don't bother asking anyone else but a very good dentist.

You should see your dentist for an exam and get x-rays taken, and have your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist. Prevention is the key. Ideally, people should get their teeth cleaned every 6 months.
What you do in the meantime is also very important. You need to brush your teeth gently, at least twice a day. Angle your toothbrush towards your gumline, and move the bristles in a circular fashion. Always brush your tongue, too. You should also floss every night before going to bed.
Your hygienist will evaluate you gums at your visit, and will let you know what's going on with your oral health. She/he will also recommend any other routines you should do to maintain your teeth.

You obviously have gum disease. At this point, you can floss or brush all you like, but you are only doing the equivalent of putting a band-aid on a tumor... it will get worse. You need to see your dentist so that they can clean down below the gum line, as this is where the problem is. Not only can this problem lead to tooth loss down the road if left untreated, but the infection can also lead to other health issues such as liver problems. Go see your dentist, get it taken care of, and THEN brush, floss, and use antiseptic mouth wash to prevent it from returning.
Good Luck!!!

It's your gums that bleeding not our teeth- you may have a gum infection that has caused the gum to recede or move back from the tooth and cause pain --- see a dentist, it could be as simple as brushing too hard and incorrectly.

IT'S NOT NORMAL THERE TO BE BLEEDING. TO CLARIFY A POINT: TEETH DON'T BLEED, BUT GUMS DO. BLEEDING IS CAUSED BY IRRITATED GUMS. IRRITATED GUMS ARE CAUSED BY PLAQUE AND/OR TARTAR TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TEETH AND UNDER THE GUMS.
THE ONLY. PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO SEE A DENTIST AND HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TO BE FOLLOWED BY A DAILY REGIMEN OF CORRECT BRUSHING AND FLOSSING.

I don't think that the teeth bleeds, I guess gums are the ones who bleed. Consult to your dentist immediately! It can be sensitive gums... or teeth!

your teeth don't bleed but the gums around them do...see your dentist for a comprehensive plan of action and after every brushing then brush again with an antiseptic mouthwash and brush it aggressively between the teeth

See a dentist. You either have problems with ur teeth or the flesh.
If the latter, there are special toothpastes to strengthen it. Also, don't brush your teeth too hard. That may damage your gum.

Brush 3 times a day for at least 3 minz, floss, and use mouth wash. Brush over your gums gently and spend alot of time on the bleeding areas.

consult a dentist and ask for a thorough checkup. It can be that you have sensitive gums or an infection. In the meantime, use Betadine Mouthwash. It taste foul but it's the best one to kill any germs.
