are you are a diabetic , check your blood sugar level to confirm, undergo a complete periodontal check up apart from a diagnostic OPG xray to rule out any hidden cavities and bone loss surrounding teeth and get treated accordingly. if you have tartar formation around teeth undergo a complete cleaning and root planing
