What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain In My Gums?

My gums are hurting really bad. The further away from my teeth the gums get, the darker they get. I also rinsed my mouth out with warm salt water and it made my veins darken to purple and dark pink; my gums hurt even more when I did that as well. Does this sound like anything you've dealt with before?

Hello!Read your query.

You seem to suffer from gingivitis.
I suggest you to go for scaling,this will improve your gingival health.

You can dilute the warm salt water further or go for a diluted chlorhex mouthwash.
check with your dentist so that he can decide if you will need a root planning.

Regards.
