Wow. I'm sorry you are only learning this now.
Bleeding gums means you have some inflammation. If you floss regularly, your gums will eventually stop bleeding (ask me how I know this).
If you have gum issues, a water pick is useful. After I started flossing every fricking night with good technique, I was still having gum issues. The water pick helped a lot.

@elduvelle@neuromatch.social A good dentist will use a little tool to measure how deep the pockets are between your teeth and your gums. Deep pockets let bacteria attack your jawbone, and can cause tooth loss. A dentist might suggest a deep clean if you have deep pockets. It is worth it. After that, you should be able to keep your gums healthy with flossing and water pick.
