Try brushing and flossing well and rinsing with really warm salt water. If you have been eating things that are crunchy you may have just irritated your gums.

I think you should go back to the dentist.

Reply:I wouldn't WORRY, however, it does sound like early gum disease. Which that sounds horrific, but can be cured.
Reply:Your teeth probably need to be deep cleaned. That involves something called planing the roots. Tartar is scraped off the roots below the gumline. This treatment can usually limit or stop gingivitis. You might have periodontal disease which your dentist would have to develop a treatment plan for.
