Inflammation: Your gingiva is inflamed. Start by seeing a local dentist for an evaluation. At a minimum, a good professional cleaning seems to be needed.

Gum disease: Any pain/swelling/bleeding deserves immediate attention. Your symptoms indicate that you have an inflammatory infection of your gum tissues. If treated early the problem is entirely reversible. Please see your Dentist immediately for examination/imaging/diagnosis/treatment or referral to a gum specialist, a Periodontist. Please go now, the longer you wait the more difficult the treatment.
