What Causes Bleeding And Pain After Placing Dental Crown?

I have a double crown on the lower left side of my mouth, the 2nd and 3rd teeth from the back. For a few days now, I have not been able to eat on that side because it is too painful. I use a threader to floss in between the double crown. Yesterday, there was a lot of blood that came from that area when flossing. Today, not as much blood but still painful. The gums are very sensitive in that area as well. They appear a little grayish. What could this be?
