See a dentist: Sounds like you have periodontal disease. Gingivitis is the starting point and only involves the gum. When gingivitis is not treated than it will become more complex and than the gum and the bone becomes effected which is called periodontitis. Periodontitis is the major cause of tooth lose in the United States. You should see a dentist for a proper examination and treatment. Hope that helps.
