Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of swelling in gums which you are mentioning, it looks that it is gingivitis only.
Actually in gingivitis there is slight edema in the gums which looks like swelling only.
So better you should go for oral prophylaxis which will solve the problem.
Hope it will help you.
