My gums were swollen so i pulled my lip down to look at them & it looked like stuff was coming out of it, so i pushed on the area & whitish yellowish stuff came out.. it's a thick substance & has an odor but my boyfriend says i do not have any issues with halitosis. I do brush my teeth regularly.
Swollen gums along with thick substance discharge from the guns are clearly pointing towards gum infection that can be gingivitis or periodontitis. You should consult an oral physician and get evaluated.
A panoramic x-ray should be done to see if the infection has progressed to the underlying bone or not. First of all, you should get a deep scaling or cleaning of teeth done followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash. Also, massage the gums with chlorohexidine gel. Do warm saline gargles. Chew a vitamin c pellet daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
