Gum issues: Sorry, this is not a DIY repair project. Important that you see your Dentist to determine cause/treatment. The symptoms you describe a re indicative of gum disease which requires professional care. Until you see your Dentist brush GENTLY 2x/day for 2 full minutes by the clock. Rinsing with warm salt water may sooth, but will not cure. Impeerative that you floss DAILY.
