You are suffering from gingivitis,start applying metrogyl DG gel on the gums twice daily after meals with rinses with a clohex plus mouthwash,and then visit a dentist to get scaling and curettage done.

First visit a dentist and do general check up. This is most probably due to plaque and tartar deposition. Need scaling ( cleaning) of teeth which not very painful procedure. So get it done as early you can.
