I would have a thorough dental exam soon.When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned???If it has been a while, it could be a build-up of bacteria that can only be removed by a professional cleaning.Good luck to you.Patty

Do you notice any bleeding while brushing? I agree with patty v, definately go see a dentist very soon. In the mean time, step up with the flossing (at least once a day) to improve the health of your gums. Maybe try rinsing with listerene at night. If it's too strong, you can dilute it with a little water. Hope this helps.
