Question 6

is it strange to like making your gums bleed?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Bleeding gums usually is the first sign of local inflammation or problem. If your gum bleeding is related to aggressive brushing and/or flossing you are causing damage to the periodontium.  Would you scrub your hands until they bleed?  Doubt it. 
I tell my patients they are cleaning their teeth not scrubbing the floor. Contact time is more important than pressure or force. Please stop...

Question 7

why is it that my gums are bleeding and in pain?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Could be gingivitis, or the more advanced stage, periodontitis. You need a dentist to treat this, so find a local office and have yourself evaluated. Failure to do so can result in the loss of all of your teeth due to gum disease.

Question 8

could retainers make your gums bleed?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Retainers are usually designed not to impinge or pinch the gums. Bleeding gums is a sign of gingivitis which is caused by the accumulation of plaque and bacteria by the gum line. It is possible that the retainer may have pinched the gums causing it to bleed, but only because the gums are not healthy. Healthy gums should not be doing this.
