It looks like you are having gingivitis. Otherwise, you might be brushing too hard. Bleeding does not cause bad breath. Bad breath is caused by the same microorganisms that cause your gums to bleed.
If the bleeding is caused by brushing too hard. Try using a soft or medium toothbrush. If it's because of gingivitis, visit your dentist for scaling. Brush 3 times a day and floss everyday. If you do it right, bleeding should stop within a week at most.

You have an infection under your gums. When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned? Healthy gums do not bleed when you brush or floss. I recommend you make an appointment for a cleaning and start flossing your teeth on a daily basis. Flossing is the only thing that will clear up infected gums ~ brushing alone will not do.

Sounds like an early stages of gingivitis. All you have to do to stop the bleeding is use dental floss every single day. The bleeding gums are a warning signal. It's not the blood that gives you bad breath, it's the food and gunk that is being left between your teeth.

You need to go to a gum specialist and have your teeth and GUMS cleaned. They go between the gum and tooth and do a proper clean, not like the dentist does. They just clean and polish, you need the needles and a proper one.

If you do not you may not control the gum disease that your mouth is telling you that is possibly manifesting itself. The gums bleed first. If you polish your gums for a month they may stop, otherwise definately see a gum specialist.

I lost all my top teeth, because I never went to have my gums cleaned at all. Yes the dentist visits were there and no advice from him. My girlfriend whom is a dental nurse told me.

It was too late...I was given 10 years...I got 5 as medication speed up the process. Now I am fighting to save my bottom teeth...

You probably have mild gingivitis. This can be reduced/reversed by flossing regularly, and brushing regularly. I don't think it would cause bad breath. It is fine if they are just bleeding a little, but if it is a lot, you should go to the dentist. Just remember to floss--that is very important. Try rinsing with some peroxide after you brush and floss as well.

bleeding gums can be a sign of gingivitus. or you could just be brushing too hard. sometimes a person is in a hurry and they brush fast and when you brush fast you are not only applying speed but you are also applying extra pressure. it does not cause bad breath, but it may cause a unpleasant taste. at any rate i highly suggest you try to see a dentist. if you cannot afford a dentist but you have insurance, talk to your insurance company and see where you can go for dental work.

Maybe you're not flossing enough? Brush your teeth more softly, floss at least twice a week, and your gums should shape up.

periodontal disease. it's an infectin in the gums and in the bone that hold the teeth in place. it's caused by plaque build up. and yes, it can cause bad breath. but that is likely more of an internal issue. go see an orthodontist, and maybe a gastroenterologist.

Go see a dentist. It can be food that has become embedded in the gums and rotted.
