Dental and oral health care, I think I may have Gingivitis
How do I know if I have gingivitis? I do brush twice a day and floss most days but lately my gums have been red and sore. They also bleed a little when I am brushing my teeth. I am not sure why this has been starting in but my friend told me it could be that I have gingivitis. Is that possible?

Sure it is possible that you may have the start of some gum issues. But only a dentist can confirm with you if you have gingivitis issues. I would say just go to a dentist for a dental check up and see what they would have to say about the issue.

You could have just been brushing harder then normal. Did you get a new toothbrush, or make any new changes to your daily oral care?
I would say if you are worried about your gums go to a dentist and see what is up. But until you know I would not stress out over what friends have to say unless they are a dentist.
