Answer 1

If you don't take too good care of your teeth and they haven't been cleaned in awhile, your gums may just be inflamed and possibly swollen.  You probably need to get your teeth cleaned, and if that's all it is, your gums will shrink back to normal.

On the other hand, there may be something else going on like a tooth infection, in which case more than just a cleaning may be needed.

Back to the cleaning, once the plaque has been on your teeth for awhile it gets calcified, and can't be removed with a toothbrush; so you will need to see your dentist anyway.

In the meanwhile, yes, you should brush/floss the area and everywhere else as best as possible.  If it bleeds, it is inflamed, but you need to keep brushing/flossing despite (or the inflammation will get worse).

Answer 2

clorhexidin as a mouth wash
