Hello ma'am,
Scaling is not a painful procedure but as your gingiva is inflammed bleeding may occur but no need to worry it'll stop.
U should use mouthwash.
After scaling you should follow proper brushing technique. Scaling will reduce the inflammation and bad breath. Proper history and clinical evaluation are also needed.
Next Steps
visit the clinic.

Donât panic. Some bleeding while scaling is not at all harmful and its just temporary. Infact the scaling will improve your gum problems. And you can ask the dentist about the right brushing techniques to prevent gum problems in future and also do the gum massage

No need to worry — scaling is a painless and safe procedure. If you feel any sensitivity, a topical La will be applied. After scaling, problems like bleeding gums and bad breath will improve. You just need to maintain good oral hygiene afterwards and drink plenty of water.
