Hello ...Post delivery makes alot of hormonal changes in the body due to which it also affects the gums ... I would advise you go for a basic cleaning session and follow up with a prescribed gel for gums and / or mouthwash Also it will be very important to maintain good oral hygiene as these bodily changes can result into cavity and gum problems
Next Steps
cleaning session at dental clinic followed by gum ointment
