Visit your dentist for scaling as soon as possible as it’s periodontitis & that can cause more problems later on.

The swelling of Gums is called Gingivitis. Gingivitis causes bleeding. Which is probably due to poor oral hygiene, accumulation of plaque and calculus. Consult a dentist for Scaling and Polishing.

Brush properly twice daily and use a Mouthwash Orahex Plus.
Health Tips
Get Scaling and Polishing done once in a year.
