It is possible that there is a layer of plaque and/or calculus on your teeth due to which the guns have become swollen or inflamed.
For this reason you need to get a thorough professional cleaning at the dental office.
For now you can start rinsing with lukewarm water and salt. That will help the inflammation
Next Steps
Start rinsing with lukewarm water

Hi dear
Basically u r suffering from gums problems. It is due to plaque deposited on tooth which causes gums inflammation(swelling). When swelling in gums it's result is gums bleeding.
So u need to clean ur teeth in dental clinic by dentist.
But current situation is not in favour of dental visit due to lockdown.
Next Steps
When lockdown over u consult dentist for proper examination with radiographs.
Health Tips
Warm saline rinses for every two hours it will give better result for ur gums and oral hygiene.
Apply topically Rexidine M Forte gel 6-8 times daily for 2weeks, it will give u relief from dental pain and infection.

Usually the bleeding happens from the gums around the tooth and not the tooth. Due to tooth decay or gum pocket, there is accumulation of food particles and plaque causing the gums to get inflamed and bleed easily. When pressure builds up in the gum pocket, it pains. But after it bleeds, the pressure is relieved, so you will not have pain. Go to a dentist and get a clinical check up done and a tooth X-ray also.

Headache is never related to gum diseases till now. I would suggest not to link both. Please use Qudrajel ointment for gum massage apply it on gums everywhere with finger. Apply and massage for 2 minutes and leave ointment for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water and salt. Do thos for 15 days and report how effective u feel and i would suggest personal visit to any dentist for proper evaluation of oral condition.
Remember Qudrajel is more effective for any kind of gum diseases or if not same brand i would suggest to use same composition of drug with any other company product.
Next Steps
use it from today daily 3 times each applications in gap of 4 hrs or morning evening and night.
if u swallow that medicine by mistake nothing is going to happen.
inform how is result but please do visit any dentist for evaluating ur gum condition
Health Tips
swallow of ointment won't have problem and there will be slight numbness all areas where u apply

Hello. Bleeding gums indicate inflammation as you may have deposits (Tartar) which may be present deeper inside your gums most commonly. You need to visit a Periodontist for a deeper gum cleaning. You should be fine after that. There can be other reasons as well. A comprehensive clinical examination would give a better idea along with an OPG. Get a consultation done after the lockdown period. In the mean time use salt water mouthrinse 3 to 4 times a day, which may reduce the bleeding but it will not entirely stop the bleeding until the cause has been removed.
