I hadn't flossed in a long time so I flossed my teeth yesterday and then woke up this morning and the gums underneath 2 of my bottom teeth were swollen, red and bled a little after brushing my teeth, which sorta hurt a little. Could this swelling. Just be because I hadnt flossed in a while? Advice please. And I have no dental insurance so dont just say go to the dentist.. that won't help.

DEFINITELY. Bleeding is a sign of inflammation and flossing is essential. Continue flossing daily and swelling will subside. When you flossed you disrupted bacterial biofilm and now your body is fighting with it-that's why swelling. You'll be fine-just floss daily.
