Yes you should consult another doctor, this time a good periodontist. Gum bleeding due to gingivitis is a very common problem. Scaling is considered in cases where the deposits are just around or over the collar of teeth. In cases with deposits that have penetrated deeper some times a surgical intervention(flap surgery) is required. But first consult a periodontist so you can have a clearer picture.
