Gum disease may be due to a condition called gingivitis or periodontitis. They are usually caused by lack of proper oral hygiene. Proper brushing technique coupled with good use of dental floss or a water flosser is a must. First of all you need to visit a dentist for a thorough cleaning (scaling) job. That has to be followed by better oral hygiene habits and better dietary habits. Vitamin supplements also help. Feel free to consult Laser Smile Care Centre anytime. God bless u always.

Bleeding is one of the most common signs of gum disease. Even if your gums are not swollen it is very likely you have active gum disease. Please get yourself checked by a dentist preferably a periodontist to get a line of treatment best suited to your condition.

6 monthly visit to dentist is a must and you must get your gums assessment done by a dentist or Periodontist ( who specializes in gum treatment).

Hello,
The history that you are giving suggests that there are calculus and stain deposits on your teeth. Now no matter how nicely you brush you will have to visit a dentist to get them removed. It is a very simple procedure called scaling in which with the help of ultrasonic vibration these deposits are displaced. You will have a fresh breath and no bleeding once you get them removed and start maintaining your teeth properly. Also request the dentist you visit to teach you the proper brushing and flossing technique. Hope this information will help you.
Regards,

Going by the complaints you have mentioned, visit your dentist immediately, now. You need professional care.
Home remedies, just do's and dont's doesn't cure your condition.
"No pain, so I am fine "-- FALSE in dentistry, absolutely false for gum diseases.
