Without direct clinical examination its difficult to suggest the medicines.
Please do visit your dentist and get scaling done.

Brush your teeth twice daily using soft-interdental toothbrush and dental floss.

every meal.
-Replace your toothbrush in every 3-4 months.
-Use chlorhexidine mouthwash rinses twice every day.
-Go for routine dental checkup and symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and

Hello,
Gum problems are caused by a number of problems like poor oral hygiene, faulty tooth brushing, calculus and plaque. Brush twice daily , floss regularly, use a chlorhexidine mouth wash twice daily. Clean your tongue gently using a tongue cleaner, massage your gums after brushing, get a scaling done by your dentist every 6 months. This will help in curing gum problems if any.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

I understand that you are facing gum problems since a while. Gum problems arise due to many reasons. Plaque,tartar, systemic diseases like diabetes,nutritional deficiencies,taking certain medicines like calcium channel blockers for blood pressure are some of the few causes.
To cure the gum problem you need to treat the cause. Go to a dentist and find out the reason behind it.Meanwhile drink loads of water, maintain good oral hygiene. Citrus fruits like oranges and gooseberry are good for gums.

Take Care

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, for two minutes.
Floss every day.
Use an antibacterial mouth rinse for more protection from plaque and to improve gingivitis.
Smoking increases the danger of gum disease by damaging gum tissue and increasing inflammation. If you smoke, preventing gum disease is one more very good reason to try to quit.
If gingivitis occurs, your dentist can scrape away plaque buildup at the gum line.
a healthy diet can help you maintain healthy gums.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
