This form of gum disease does not include any loss of bone and tissue that hold teeth in place.
Brushing your gums too hard or attacking them with floss damages the sensitive tissue and ends up hurting you. Another frequent reason for sore gums is gum disease; gingivitis is one of the most widespread gum diseases. Periodontitis is more serious than gingivitis, but both can cause pain. They occur when bacteria get into your gums and cause swelling; sometimes periodontal disease also causes your gums to bleed. Some people end up with sore gums when they develop canker sores, which are caused by viruses. The pain goes away when the canker sore heals. Chemotherapy is also a known cause of painful gums.
