Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Yes, you are right, mouth is the mirror of the body. Like that the systemic diseases can manifest in the gums. For example, bleeding gums can indicate any bleeding disorders, multiple periodontal abscess can be seen in diabetes or periodontitis can be considered as the sixth cause of diabetes. Like this so many diseases can manifest in oral cavity and indicate a systemic disease.
Regarding the treatment of gum infection, i would suggest you too get a scaling and root planing done. Followed by this, maintain oral hygiene, follow proper brushing habits and use mouth wash.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
