Do you floss on a regular basis? If not, it is probably bleeding due to this. If you do, it might just be a little irritated from the cleaning if you had alot of tarter build up in this area. You might not be getting that area really good when you are brushing. If there is any plaque left behind in that area continually, it could be causing it to bleed. Just make sure you take extra good care of that area by brushing at least 2x daily and flossing. It should be fine so do't worry about it. If it continues to bleed after good oral hygiene, then talk to your hygienist.

yeah

yes....just try to floss more often (2 x's a day) this way they wont bleed as much, if any , and make sure to brush with a soft toothbrush. when you brush, lightly brush your gums too...this will help strengthen them. :) you will be okay, they are just sensitive right now.

do you floss often cause if you don't you bleed when you start flossing and even once in a while when you do floss daily

You don't floss enough and your gums are weak. Floss more and they'll get tougher.
