Thank you for your advice. I asked the lab to do the tests, they were very nice and accommodating. I got my results back over a week later (usually a good sign, less urgency = less serious). The doctor called me telling me that all of my blood work looked good. Everything was in normal range and there were no signs of abnormal cells. The only thing he mentioned that was abnormal was that my glucose levels were a little high and to cut out sugar and carbs. He also mentioned I had no immunity to chicken pox and that I should get a booster shot.
The new issue is that I seem to always have a cold of some sort, but I've been told repeatedly that it is very common for a first-year teacher to be sick often during your first year (lack of sleep, stress, and constantly being exposed to millions of germs every day). Overall, I'm not too worried now, but the sensitive gums is still concerning me. I may schedule another doctors appointment to see what is causing it. Thank you for the advice, hope all is well.

Thank you for the advice, it was truly appreciated and calming. Luckily, my results came back normal, everything was good except I had a bit of a higher glucose level than the doctor wanted. Just needed to cut out excess sugar and carbs. The new issue is that I seem to always have a cold of some sort, but I've been told repeatedly that it is very common for a first-year teacher to be sick often during your first year (lack of sleep, stress, and constantly being exposed to millions of germs every day).
