Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.
It can be a gingival enlargement or granuloma.A x-ray and clinical examination is reqired.Curettage and shaping of the gingiva must be done to bring the normal gingival shape.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.Use the interdental brush prescribed by your dentist daily.You need not use paste with the brush.
Gargle thrice a week using mild mouthwash.Daily gentle brushing is absolutely necessary.This can be mostly because of poor oral hygiene.
Hope this helps.
