Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your query blood in spit on brushing can be due to causes like gum infection and inflammation leading to Gingivitis..
As you brush your teeth the gums gets stimulated leading to bleeding..
This can be the most common cause..
If it would be due acidity then it can be associated with other symptoms like heartburn..
I would therefore suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help..
In case of gum infection Scaling of teeth followed by gum paint application can help..
Do warm saline gargles..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
