Hello,
As you are mentioning that you got hurt from the plastic and there was bleeding after that, it looks like that you have got some traumatic periodontitis.
It means that there is trauma in your tooth supporting structure and that is causing the problem.
You should visit a good dentist and get it treated.
Hope it will help you.
