I am facing gum bleeding since 2 yrs, that starts randomly even without doing brushing. I underwent 2 sessions of scaling in Aug'16, after which bad odour and swelling of gums reduced but the problem of bleeding remained. In April'17, I went for 1 session of scaling but there is no sign of relief. I am still facing heavy bleeding. Pl suggest

Scaling is not once in a lifetime procedure. It only removes the hard deposits called as calculus which your toothbrush cannot remove. The plaque which leads to calculus formation and gum inflammation and bleeding starts forming in the next hour itself.
So post operative maintenance by the patient is equally important if not more.
You can consult another dentist and describe the situation to him or her. After the procedure of scaling your dentist will also describe you the proper method of brushing the teeth.
Long term results will only and only lie in your hands depending on your compliance.
Regards.
