If it has been a while between dental cleanings; it may be that you had gingivitis and the inflammed gums need to heal. A regime of warm saline rinses may help (1/2 teaspoon salt to 8 ounces of warm water) there will be enough per mix for a few rinses. 20-30 seconds rinse expectorate (spit out) and repeat per 8 oz. Do this 3 or 4 times per day. Another factor maybe due lack of vitamins especially vit C &/or B. It is best advised if the problem persist to bring it to the attention of the clinicians which provided the service. Hope this helped and the problem resolves. Enjoy your day.
