Is it normal for my puppy's gums to bleed and swell while teething?

Question

Is it okay for her my GSD's gums to bleed like this? She's been working on those back molars and teething so I know that's likely the cause, they just look painful. The ones in the very back are swollen from trying to break through and the ones that have bleed if she gnaws on things. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | 4 months and 21 days old

This is fine. The gums appear healthy with no signs of infection or excessive damage. The gums bleed quite easily, so I wouldn't be too worried about it being very painful. I think that at-most the mouth would feel mildly sore. I hope that helps and gives some peace of mind.
