Time to see your DDS: You need to see a dentist to perform a thorough examination and work out a treatment plan for you. World health organization study shows a majority of adults have some form of gum disease. It is better to treat this sooner as the end result is loose teeth leading to loss of teeth.

Brushing issue: You either brushed harder than you normally do or your gums are inflamed and you brushed them more thoroughly than usual.
