Hurt gum while brushing

2019-05-23 17:30:15
I have hurt my front lower gum very badly with brush 2 days back. It was so hard that blood started coming out. My gum is now hurting and seems like some puss has filled up. The gum was already very low and now it seems lower. Should I consult a dentist. Will it lead to any serious issue ? I have attached an image of my gum. It is 3rd from the right
