they should be a light pink. i have problems with my gums because their a draker shade of pink and puffy. my orthodontist told me the solution to puffy gums is to squeeze them. bleeding is good to get the extra blood stored in ure gums out. if their dark pink or red, brush them a lot with a soft brush in a rotating motion. also, if it bleeds while you brush, you may have sensitive gums. that gives another reason to use a soft brush. ask these questions to your dentist or orthodontist for better information. hope i helped love. =]
