Bleeding gums may be a sign of poor dental hygiene. Gums become inflamed and bleed when there's a buildup of plaque along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film containing bacteria that covers your teeth and gums. And if you don't brush or floss enough, the bacteria can spread and cause tooth decay or gum disease

Mr. lybrate-user, it seems that you are having spongy gums due to vit c deficiency, eat citrus fruits like oranges, sweet lemon, lemon, may take vit c supplement (succee tab) for few days and do gandoosh with sphatik bhasm 1/2tsf in 1glass of water. *gandoosh is an ayurvedic term which means to hold, mouth full of liquid prescribed, for some time in the mouth and then spit it out.
