Dear Lybrate user pls check if you have plaque or any abnormal deposits in your teeth. Because in that case scaling is required. Stress, smoking, hormonal imbalance, improper oral hygiene, improper diet have negative impacts on gingival health for home care I advice you brushing twice daily. Donot use vigorous and horizontol strokes for brushing. 3 mins of brushing is sufficient. There are numerous techniques for brushing you can learn the one most suitable for you from some nearby dentist or you can text me for the same use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouth wash to rinse your oral cavity for 15 days warm salt water rinses 3-4 times daily include vit c rich food like citrus fruits aamla kiwi etc, salad ,green leafy vegetables.
