Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Bleeding from gums can be because of infection of gums called as gingivitis and the hole in the gums can be because of infection in the socket of the pulled tooth might be of retained root stump.
Better once you should visit a good dentist and get the treatment of gums done.
Hope it will help you.
