Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query swelling and bleeding gums while brushing is due to inflammation of gingival that is gingivitis or due to periodontal associated periodontitis. Due to deposition of food debris and calculus, improper oral hygiene leads to swelling in gums, or it can be Chat Doctor. For this I will suggest you to do warm saline rises 2 -3 times a day, use chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly, do brush your teeth regularly. Consult oral surgeon for examination of gums and oral prophylaxis. Hope this will help you.
