Gum inflammation occurs due to many reasons specially deposits namely calculus over teeth. It results into red gums, bleeding from gums and bad breath from mouth. If it continues for long , patient may experience pain while chewing food, or may complains of digging gums with a tooth prick continuously, ultimately there becomes pocket formation around teeth. Now this gum inflammation changes into pyorrohea which again results into very great problem.
It will be better to consult a dentist specially periodontist who is known as gum specialist.
Periodontist has special instruments for the treatment of pyorrohea and have more knowledge than a general dentist.
Good luck and best wishes.
