Thanks for using Health Care magic.
Read your query.
Relax ,inflammation of the gums will not necessarily lead to the loss of the teeth.
The bleeding gums,plague and inflammation of gums is caused by chronic gingivitis.
Since you have already on an appointment with the dentist,he will have your teeth cleaned and polished and if additional treatment required will be done.
Do chlorhexidine mouth wash gargling.
Maintain it well after the treatment with proper brushing and follow up care accordingly.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
