You need to floss every day. The reason why you have gingivitis is food gets lodged between your teeth and travel up your gums. When too much food and bacteria gets up there you get gum diesase which is gingivitis. If your bleeding every time you brush you need to floss and mouth wash. If you keep it flossing every day within a week or two the bleeding will stop. Make sure your flossing correctly

Your gums will bleed. They are not used to being brushed and/or flossed. Continue to brush (morning and night) and floss (at night before bed) because this will get your gums used to being messed with. If you don't have a perio rinse, then use Listerine (or a generic, it's the same) after brushing and flossing at night. Rinse until you can't stand it anymore, because the more burning you feel the better it will make your gums feel in the end, because it is killing bacteria when you do that. Just keep up the regimen and you will see results, no lie.

Talk to a local dentist ASAP.
While gum disease can be attributable to many things such as diabetes, stress, and medications, the fact is that the majority of Americans who are afflicted with gum disease have nothing more to blame than a combination of poor dental hygiene, poor nutrition, and tobacco use (if you are a smoker). Gum disease is no laughing matter folks. It is a very serious and unnecessary risk to your health, not to mention your smile and ability to chew solid food into your twilight years.
The early stage of gum disease is gingivitis, where the gums redden, swell, and bleed easily, yet can be reversed with professional cleanings and proper dental hygiene. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis. Periodontitis is much more of a threat, and with time, plaque can spread below the gum line, creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and toxins. These toxins produce a chronic inflammatory response that cause the tissue and bone that support the teeth to be broken down and destroyed. Gums will separate from the teeth, forming pockets which can become infected by the already present bacteria. Ultimately, if no action has been taken, the resulting bone loss and infection will call for the tooth to be removed in the afflicted area.
Sadly, gums cannot regenerate themselves, and the bones that hold your beautiful teeth in place will not reform. But, if caught soon enough (before your teeth fall out of your head), gum disease can be stopped dead in its tracks, pockets will close up, gums will become toned and healthy, and the former threat of bone loss will no longer exist.
