Answers:
It's not normal! You probably do have gingivitis which may be caused by buildup (plaque and tartar) you cannot fully remove with brushing and flossing. Tartar is hard (like cement) and should be removed by a dental professional (hygienist or dentist). If that is not the case they could help you determine the cause, it might be caused by a medication you are taking or other medical condition. The health of your mouth is effected by the health or your body and vice versa. Brushing 3 times a day (at least) for 2 minutes with floss and a rinse would likely be the best routine for you. The good news is... you can get rid of gingivitis, but if it gets worse it turns into periodontal (bone) disease. Good Luck!
