As per your history and reports, you might be having allergy to some component of your current toothpaste. Moreover it can also be due to hard vigorous brushing using hard bristles toothbrush. It can also be due to some sharp teeth that is troubling you. First, you need to change your toothpaste for sometime and observe for these symptoms. If it still pursues then consult a dentist and go for examination.
