Dear Practo User, kindly visit a periodontist to get your gums checked.. Itchy and bleeding gums are due to plaque and tartar deposits. Applying ice pack will do no good. Instead go to a nearby dentist and get proper treatment done

It is a sign of some deposits esp calculus or in layman terms tartar in the gums. What you need is get a thorough dental check up done followed by scaling & polishing. Meanwhile you can also do Luke warm salt water gargles.
Hope this helps

Namaste boss. This is very simple basic procedure in dentistry. Please get a checkup. Scaling is actually a very important procedure, which should be done regurlarly. Do not postpone things, gum bleeding is something which will happen if you have never got scaling in past.
