Get teeth cleaning: You need to clean the gums and the surfaces of the teeth to remove the inflammatory particles that are irritating the gums. Brushing 3 times a day, flossing daily and rinsing with warm salt water or listerine will help get you back on the road to healthy gums. You should also schedule to see a dentist to get your teeth professionally cleaned.
