As advised by many doctors this is calculus which you need to get cleaned professionally.. also please do some salt water gargling .. and if possible please add some alum in it.. it will help in better healing of the gums.. also please go gum massage in circular fashion to increase the blood flow and reduce swelling. This will help in future in preventing future plaque build up
