Suggest Treatment For Dark Red Spot On Gums

After brushing my teeth and flossing this morning, two dark red spots appeared on my bottom gums. Its not very big but it is a lot darker than the rest of my gums. It looks like skin came off or something. It isn't very painful and its not raised. What should I do?

Treatment for Dark red Gums
if the cause is gingivitis, than the dentist would opt for removal of tartar and plaques from the gum’s and teeth.
Salt is excellent for oral hygiene, gargling regularly with salt water keeps the gum’s disease at bay. It also helps to relieve pain caused by gum disease.
Ice applied on the inflamed gum’s gives quick relief

Clove oil is another natural oral antiseptic for inflamed gum’s.
