Yes: Don't rely on an online remedy. See a local General Dentist or better yet an Oral Surgeon or Periodontist for a medical and dental history along with a proper diagnosis, and treatment if necessary.

See below: What are your habits? Smoking? Coffee? Medications? Go to your dentist for a complete examination and oral hygiene instruction. If the DDS feels a medical consult is needed, you may be referred.
