Hi

Thanks for writing in.

Swollen gums can be due to poor oral hygiene. You need to go for scaling & polishing.
Also do gum massage with gum tone gel 2-3 times a day.
Maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing & use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash.
Include citrous fruits in diet like aamla, lemon & oranges.
Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.
