Answers: Whenever I brush my teeth I find blood on it after I brush. What does this mean?

it usually indicates gingivitis due to inflammation of your gums.
i recommend getting a scaling from a dentist or a dental hygienist, and then flossing regularly will help subside the bleeding in about a week or so.

or,

it can mean that you're brushing too hard. a soft bristle toothbrush is recommended.

you have sensitive gums which are being scratched every time you brush your teeth. use extra-soft tooth brush and do not push it hard when brushing.
