Ummm... Gums are acting weird?
Yesterday when I was flossing, a few areas in the corners between teeth, started to get red and puffy. it hasn't gone away, and when I brushed this morning, it was bleeding almost everywhere! I also found this morning that the puffyness was not only in those areas, but in more that I thought. It was behind my teeth, too. What is it, and what should I do about it?

It kinda hurts to brush, too...
Answers:
Could be slight gingivitis. Do not floss as hard as you have been, brush more gently (and more often, like twice a day)and use a mouthwash. The swelling will go down in a few days. If not, go and see your dentist.
