I have a sore area of gum above one tooth that bleeds when I brush. Why is this?

Q.

Hi, the area of gum over one of my teeth is sore when I brush it. It also seems to have receded slightly. It is only the area of gum over my upper left cuspid tooth, it tends to bleed slightly when I am brushing it as well. Should I be worried about this? I am concerned that because it bleeds every time I brush it will not get a chance to heal. My next dentist appointment is not until april and i am wondering if I should bring it forwards.
