If you have not seen a dentist in 6 months or more, it would be prudent to see one. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Gum pain can be caused by improper flossing technique, sub gingival tarter, decay, untreated gum disease, improper brushing, food impaction, and other causes. Please see your Dentist to make sure that your problem is not self inflicted.
