Gum paint is always given to sooth up and decrease swelling of gums.it is good for gum health.but as you mentioned gums turning red it may be possible some chemical in gum paint is irritating or you may be allergic to it.ask your doctor to change it.cleaning is always done to enhance your oral health, which is mandatory in case of pyorrhea.
For teeth whitening you can opt for bleaching or prosthesis such as veneers
