Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have facing pain in gums this pain can be due to periodontal problem due to poor oral hygiene , deposition of calculus at subgingival region of gum , as you have habit of chewing gutka this tobacco can cause oral lesion also like chewers mucosa , Leukoplakia , Oral submucous fibrosis . I will suggest you firstly to quit your habit of chewing tobacco and consult your dentist for examination of gums and scaling , You can apply ointment like Gum paint on gum to reduce inflamation of gums , Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health .
Regards ,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari

Thanks for using health Care magic.
Read your query.
Good ,you have stopped taking Guthka, as it would have have harmed you .
It causes sensitivity and gum problem.
I would advice you to visit your dentist and get your teeth cleaned and follow the correct post maintenance instructions.
Don't restart the intake of the tobacco products.Use a desensitizing paste for a while.
Do salt water gargling.
If pain is too severe ,you can take paracetamol and get your teeth checked for any decay.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
