Sometimes Bleeding gums while brushing
Sometimes when I brush my gums bleed from last 4-5 days. I have spotted some stone type thing on 2 of my teeth n tried to break them by finger n blood came out of that. Due to covid i can't visit a dentist. I am tensed what to do by myself so that the stone is removed and blood also doesn't come. Plz suggest.

COVID protocol is being followed at dental clinics.So no need to worry.
Till such time that you get scaling done,you may gently massage your gums with your finger twice a day using a gum paint. Warm salt water gargles also help .

Pl get scaling done with a Dental Surgeon.

Pls don't panic. The stone like thing is called calculus which most likely to cause bleeding what u need to do is scaling which is removing of the calculus substance and cleaning the teeth which can be done in dental clinic
Next Steps
for the time being maintain good oral hygiene. brush twice daily and at night time use salt water gargle
