Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Gums With Bad Breath
Hello,
About a week ago I developed a strange white film on my tongue, my gums are swollen, and they bleed when I floss my breath is strong smelling. I stopped using my mouth guard because it hurts my gums. It even hurts to eat an apple.
What could this be? Should I go see my doctor?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, dont worry this swollen and bleeding gums are due to periodontal problem .
Consult dentist and go for Scaling and root planning .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily.
Hope this will help you.
