Hey Manda

I have problems with Gingivitis, it makes your gums really red and swollen. And your gums will bleed just by the slightest brushing. My gums hurt and bleed so bad it makes me just not want to brush. Ya need to see your dentist. I get a prescription mouth rinse that I think has an antibiotic in it. It taste really bad !! But it does work. It gets the reddness and swelling down and then it will stop bleeding. When it doesn't hurt you don't mind brushing again. I hope this helped ya.
