Hormonal changes during your cycle may make your gingiva a bit inflamed.

The painful feeling becoming more noticeable during period may be related to the rise of female hormones. Estrogen levels rise and fall twice during the menstrual cycle, and this affects the pain receptors to be more sensitive. Another possibility that is likely is that you may be clenching more during that time, especially during sleep. Teeth become quite sensitive from long-term biting force.
