Answers:
Not looking at your teeth my first guess would be you are new to flossing!. You are supposed to floss twice a day every day!. When someone does not do this the food and germs that collect in these areas will cause slight bleeding and swelling which only seems to be worse when you brush and floss!.
You should continue to brush and floss!. Even if it is painful and bleeding!. If you continue to brush and floss it will get better and you will feel better!. You have to help your mouth fight the infection!. You could also try to swish you mouth out with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water up to four times a day!. This may burn and will taste terrible!.
You should have your dentist check it out all the same!. You are supposed to see your dentist every 6 months for a check up and cleaning!.
