Sure: May be a sign of periodontitis. When was your last dental checkup and cleaning? If it has been more than six months, it's time to make a call for an appointment.

Anything abnormal : Should be evaluated by your dentist if it doesn't resolve spontaneously in a couple of days. In the interim do some salt water rinses and keep the area as clean as possible. If concerned then see dentist asap. Hope this helps.
