HI THERE, DO NOT try any sort of self-medication. The best you can do to yourself is, visit the DENTIST (PERIODONTIST) near you. This can be due to mild and common gum infection. Gum Health can be easily cured if done by specialist. TAKE CARE

Hello, yellow teeth and receding gums could be because of deposits on your teeth or food lodged in your teeth. Visit a dentist get your scaling and polishing done. Brush twice daily, maintain proper brushing technique, floss regularly and rinse after every meal. Visit your dentist every 6 months.

Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  We cannot treat without examining. It could be a sign of some gum disease. Therefore you just have to consult a dentist in person for further evaluation and management.  He will be able to help you further. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
