Hi...I feel that she could be having gingivitis or infection of the gums. That is the reason why they are swollen and bleeding on brushing. The other possibility is that she could be having vitamin C deficiency...but in the later case she should be having bone pains and it will be very severe. So I suggest you consult your Paediatric dentist get her checked.
