bleed me a river

last night my gum around a tooth that is 90 percent filling felt funny, as though was some film stuck on it; used a gum massager on it---with lots of blood flowing from that part of my gum.

The tooth doesn't hurt?...it always seems to be the gum around it, though since tooth is mostly filling, is just a matter of months? for the big thing to get pulled.

Gums bleed because of gum disease. Gum disease does not cause pain except at the very end of the process, when the tooth becomes loose and is lost. If you had swelling and bleeding on one tooth only, you could just have a localized infection, but you need to see a dentist to determine the cause.
