The tingling sensation in the lower canine can be because of the attrition secondary to bruxism or maloclusion like deep bite. The other possible cause can be because of the cervical abrasion due to abnormal forces while brushing or it can be secondary to gingival recession because of gum infection.
Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is a attrition secondary to malocclusion, it has to be treated with braces. If it is secondary to the cervical abrasion then it can be restored with glass ionomer cement. If it is a gum infection, then the teeth has to be cleaned.
Mean while till you consult your dentist you can use desensitising tooth paste like strontium chloride(sensoform or senolin), apply on the teeth and leave it for two minutes and brush it with normal brush. Instead of normal tooth paste you can use this.
The bleeding can be secondary to gum infection, get the teeth cleaned and use gum astringents like stolin gum paint.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
