Bleeding In Gum While Brushing, Numb Feeling. What Could Be This?

Hello there. I hope you can help me. I should go for my 6 month dental check up. But been busy lately and delayed for 3 month. I will go in 2weeks time. But for im having problem of gum bleeding while brushing, the weird part is I feel something that I can't describe, like gum tiredness or numb. It feels like I when I talk too much but I didn't. So im wondering why is that. Thanks for your help again

Hi

Thanks for writing in.

You are suffering from gingivitis i.e. inflammation of gums due improper oral hygiene.

You need to get scaling done.
Maintain proper oral hygiene.
Use chlorhexidine mouthwash & floss your teeth regularly.

Take citrous fruits in your diet.

Regards
