The teeth on the front, bottom of my mouth are difficult to get clean because of how crooked they are. About a month ago I realized my gums were becoming very sensitive and bleeding on occasion. Any pressure put on them at all, and of course when I brush my teeth causes them to bleed. I stepped up on the teeth brushing a bit and have been rinsing my mouth out with salt water, only using mouth wash every now and then as it seems to make things worse. My mouth was feeling and looking better for a while.. until today. I woke up and my gums are swollen, puffy, and bleeding a little. I don't have dental insurance at the moment and can't afford to go to the dentist.. I know this is a case where I need to be seen by a professional but i really cant. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything at all I can do from home to help solve my problem? I used the mouth wash last night, is it just a coincidence that when I use it my mouth seems to hate me even more than it did before?

I know this doesn't look pleasant but I thinik it would help for you to be able to see what I am talking about so here's a picture of what they monsters look like today.
