why might my gums be bleeding?!


Question: Why might my gums be bleeding?
i am a 21 year old female who is perfectly healthy. but as of 2 weeks ago i noticed something like a scab on my gum line near my tooth. every time i go to eat something or even move my tongue across that area let alone any part of my gums they decide to bleed. i know this is not normal and would like to know what may be causing this issue.

Maybe scurvy by a vitamin C deficiency, or gum disease caused by bacteria. Do go see a dentist and get it checked out, because you are potentially putting your teeth at risk.

You may have gingivitis,a gum disease that makes your gums bleed,you should go see your dentist,i would suggest mouth-washing a flossing in the mean time.
