Hi little Kyle let me reassure u that everybody has gum disease at some point it's so very common ( I work at a dentist ) it's not a disease that can harm you worst possible case loss of teeth but that's a long long way down the line ? Ru sure it wasn't cause you brushed 2 hard ? Firstly don't panick just keep brushing the area gently but be thorough and try using floss or interdental brushes ? A good mouthwash is corsodyl but only to b used max 4 2 weeks but I'd try the brushing/flossing first ! Hope this helps x
