Hello, From what you describe it is possible that you are suffering from some form of gum disease. The first thing you need to do is to visit your dentist and ask for a screening to check the state of your gum heath. This may include the use of a probe to examine around your gums and some radiographs to see if the bone support is affected. From there your dentist should be able to tell you what is happening and the treatment required. I hope this helps and thanks for your question!
