Hello. It’s safe to visit a Dentist in these times. All operatories follow COVID guidelines prioritising patients comfort and safety. On clinical examination, appropriate treatment can be rendered. I would suggest do not delay. This inflammation in gums often recedes gums with further spread of infection with underlying bone loss and weak teeth. Sooner you get treated, the better
