Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain bleeding from gums and loosening of teeth is an indication that there is deep infection in your gums and due to infection the teeth are loosing the gum grip and also damage to the portion of jaw bone that holds the teetjh leading to mobility or loosening of teeth..

It can be most probably due to poor Oral hygiene leading to Plaque and tartar deposits over the teeth that acts as a continuous source of bacteria growth and causes deepening of infection..

I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get evaluated..
A Panoramic x ray will be advised that will help in ruling out the severity of bone loss due to which teeth are becoming loose and treatment will be done accordingly..

Initially deep cleaning of the teeth has to be done followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and Anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen if there is pain..
Gargle with concentrated solution of antiseptic mouthwash..
Massage the gums gently with antiseptic Oral gel like Chlorohexidine gel..
Do warm saline gargles..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily to improve gum strength..

You should also get tested for fasting and post meal blood sugar levels..

Any further questions are welcome..

Regards..
