Hi, it is possible that you developed gingivitis, which is a reversible form of gum disease) as a consequence of lack of (or improper) tooth brushing for a 10-15 days. If this is the case, resuming a regular and efficient removal of dental plaque, on a daily basis, should make your gum stop bleeding. However, to be on the safe side, I advise you to see your dentist and request a screening for gum problems. Hope this helps
