Relax.. It's simple gingivitis. Get a comprehensive Scaling of your teeth done. Vitamin C deficiency can be additional cause. But first of all you need Scaling and polishing. Then you need to start a mouthwash. Get chlorhex plus mouthwash. Take one cap of mouthwash and one cap of water. Rinse for 2-3 minutes and then don't eat or drink anything for next 20 minutes. To be done twice a day.
