These are the symptoms of gingivitis / periodontitis.
Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gingiva, (the part of your gum around the base of your teeth).

Dusky red or dark red gums
Gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss

Receding gums
Tender (painful) gums
Gingivitis can lead to much more serious gum disease called periodontitis and tooth loss.
Next Steps
Get a deep cleaning & polishing done from a periodontist.
Health Tips
Good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and getting regular dental checkups, can help prevent and reverse gingivitis.
