Brief Answer:
A thorough Dental check-up is needed at first...

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...

Well, this could be due to indwelling gum infections as well as underlying dental cavities which needs to be properly examined by a Dentist in the first place...treatment can be decided thereafter...

Meanwhile, regular chlorhexidine mouthwash along with alternate lukewarm salt-water gurgling should be done for some symptomatic relief...she should use extra-soft bristles toothbrush and extremely gentle brushing in the interim...

Please go ahead with the dental check-up and proceed accordingly...

Take Care
Kind Regards
