you've got bigger problems than gingivitis if your teeth and gums are soaring out, into the sky!
no, but seriously, there are many causes of sore gums and teeth. gingivitus is the breakdown of the tissue that holds the teeth, true, but there are other possible causes

Some signs of gingivitis are: redness of gums (instead of pink), soreness, bleeding after you brush / floss, and if you press your gums - pus comes out.
But if they're just sore, there's still time! Go to a dentist to have them cleaned. Invest in an electric toothbrush. Brush, floss, and brush your tongue. Good Luck.

Most likely. They get sore because there is a build up of hard plaque under the gum that is irritating it. Go to a dentist before you lose your choppers!

not necessarily....SORE gums can be caused by eating something that was tough to chew or brushing too hard. even if you have just started flossing your teeth, that can also cause you to have SORE gums for a while. however, if they're also bleeding and swollen, you should go see your dentist

If could mean that but not necessarily. I would get a dentist check up to be sure of what's going on.

No.
You could have brushed them too hard, been using a firm toothbrush or just hurt yourself.
