Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain bleeding and swelling of gums occurs most commonly due to infection in gums and is most probably due to infectious deposits over gums like Plaque and tartar..

Please answer the following questions so that I can guide you better.

1. Have you got cleaning of your teeth done that is also known as scaling?
2.Are the teeth also getting loose or is the spacing between teeth increasing?
3.Do you have any medical problems or are you on any medications?
4.Can you please tell which medication were given to you?

Please revert back with answers..

Hello , thanks for the response. I did the scaling long ago .I don't find my tooth getting loose or space increasing . but the area between teeth has become dark and its not doing even after brushing that part and the teeth have become for sensitive. I don't have any medical problems and I am not on medication. The doctor gave me limcee tablets and gumtone tonic to apply on my gums,

Thanks for your reply..

It looks like gum Infection leading to Gingivitis..

Nothing to worry, you should consult a Dentist and get Scaling done followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and along with it you can also restart taking Limcee that is Vitamin C..
Also massage the gums with gum paint..

You can also do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with concentrated solution of antiseptic mouthwash..
If there is sensitivity you can use desensitizing tooth paste .
Use a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth..

Hope this information helps..
