thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the red point over the gums and bleeding could be be cause of the inflammation of the gums secondary to the deposits over the teeth. consult your oral physician and get your self examined and go for oral prophylaxis(cleaning of your teeth) and maintain oral hygiene after that. do saline gargling or rinse your mouth with water after eating anything. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
