Hi it won't be your gums that are sensitive it will be your teeth! Sensitivity can be caused by gum recession, tooth erosion or possibly decay.

First thing I would suggest is see your dentist as they should be able to diagnose a possible cause. Also try rubbing sensodyne rapid relief or colgate pro relief on your teeth for 60 seconds. Also when brushing don't rinse your mouth just spit the toothpaste out.
