Bledding gums
I have bleeding gums since the past month. I went to a dentist in the local. He asked 2500 for gel and 30000 for 8 cleaning. Is this much money appropriate?
No doctor can legally sell any medicine/gel. About the pricing for treatment, I can't comment, because the treatment might be deep scaling with flap surgery,which sometimes requires more than 3 sittings and cost is much higher than simple dental scaling (supra gingival scaling).
Next Steps
You can always have a option for a second opinion. But if you have moderate to severe periodontitis (gum problem) then treatment plan will be almost same.
Health Tips
It's better if u go to your same doctor and understand the exact reason for gum bleeding and the possible treatment options for that, will finish your all doubts.

I will not comment about the cost of treatment. But you should undergo scaling and curettage and flap surgery if required. You can consult a periodontist (gum disease specialist ) if you want a second opinion. Gel, toothpaste and mouthwash are given as supplements to the above mentioned treatment.
Next Steps
Go for the treatment as soon as possible.
Health Tips
Do brushing twice a day. after getting treatment go for follow up every 6 months.
