Occasional bleeding from the gums can be attributed to something as minor as brushing your teeth too harshly or flossing. Routine dental procedures like scaling can also cause some bleeding from the gums. Bleeding through the gums can also be caused due to ill-fitting dentures, which cause repeated trauma to the gums and leads to discomfort.
