Yes: Your gums are probably infected. It's important to brush gently 2x/day w soft t'brush and pea sized portion of t'paste for 2 full minutes by the clock. It's important to floss or WaterPik daily to remove bacteria that a t'brush can't reach. Please see Dentist immediately for treatment to reestablish oral health.
