Hi.
Thanks for the query..

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

As per your complain bleeding from tongue while brushing can be due to very harsh brushing causing tongue injury, can also be due to ulcers over tongue or fungal infection like thrush..

At times inflammation of tongue due to dry mouth, oral infections or allergic reaction to the toothpaste can also lead to bleeding..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and after a thorough clinical evaluation only a correct diagnosis and treatment can be planned..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
