bleedy gums and white bump on the end on tongue

all of a sudden my gums got really sensitive and started bleeding, even while I am just brushing my teeth.  And a few days later I got a white bump on the end of my tongue.  Are these two things related?  And if not what is the cause of this?

A periodontist is a gum specialist. A gum surgeon. Load up on Coq10 and vitamin C for a week and see if you're better. Sounds like your immune system is running on low.
When my gums became really sensitive I began using Sensodyne toothpaste. One week later the pain was GONE and I've been using it for 20 years just like my mother. But the bleeding is another matter and shows a vitamin deficiency.

If bump is reactive lymphoid tissue, it may be related to orodental infection, specifically, you may have periodontitis. Seeing a periodontist is advised.
