Gums enlargement can cause function as well as esthetic problem. Not sure how bad it is unless i do a thorough examination but usually deep scaling we advise first and then do frequent follow ups to monitor gums health. It has been studied that tacrolimus reduces the gingival enlargement so its not wrong what has been given to you but need to check once for proper solution.

Get the Deep cleaning of teeth and gums first, then use the Gumpaint. It is fine to use as long as you’re not allergic.

It is safe to use in desquamative gingivitis. Cause of desquamative gingivitis has to be ruled out.
