What Causes Soreness Of Gums On Both Sides Of Mouth?

I have an area of my gums on both sides of my mouth that are sore when brushing. The sore areas are not touching my teeth but rather above them. The location is about where the top of your teeth's roots are. It really doesn't have a different texture than the rest of my gums but it is red and sore. When brushing, they bleed. Could this be gingivitis?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain soreness and bleeding from gums can be due to
1. Gingivitis which is infection of gums
2. It might be due to hard brushing
3. It might be a abscess a result of infection of tooth
4. Other uncommon diseases like necrotizing gingivitis,symptom of a systemic disease etc
Nothing to worry consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated
