Kindly visit a dentist nearby and get your scaling done. Scaling is professional teeth cleaning to remove calculus and plaque.

Most likely you will be requiring a session of tooth cleaning followed by guidance about the proper brushing technique that you need to follow for maintaining gum health in the future...... please do not delay this treatment because Irreversible bone damage is constantly happening below the inflamed gums....
