But after scaling few days it was ok but again after 2 months again i an suffering from it. I use to take guthka regularly. What should i do. Sometimes it is very painful. Whenever i brush my teeth it bleeds. I took medicine also. My doctor gave me hexigel and betadine for rinsing and a calcium tablet. I competed the course. But again it is started.

stop using gutka altogether and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily,flossing and using a mouthwash. keep regular follow ups with your dentist atleast 6 monthly till the gingivitis is taken care of.
i recommend using a motorised toothbrush to help you clean any residue of gutka near the teeth or gums

Bleeding from gums is generally indicative of gum disease . Get scaling and polishing done regularly. Home care measures are very important. Twice a day brushing , flossing and mouthwash. Please stop Gutka if you are still consuming.
Health Tips
Massage your gums regularly with stolin or Zingisol
