There is a fear stage they go through about 16 weeks old so it may be that, how long have you had her?
Has anything changed in the household?
My best way to deal with sore gums is get 3 old tea towels and roll them up length wise and knot them at least twice, dampen under the tap and put in the freezer, give to pup when frozen and swap when limp, I find having 3 on the go means there is always at least one fully frozen.
