Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through the images you have uploaded.
As far as the inflamed gums are concerned, It is because of the gum infection(gingivitis) secondary to deposits over the teeth and below the gums. Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get scaling done (oral prophylaxis). Once you get the scaling done the inflammation and redness will come down. There after you should maintain the oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily and rinsing your mouth soon after eating anything.
I hope i have answered your query.
If any queries are there then reply ma back. Take care.
