Getting your teeth professionally cleaned and then I would use electric toothbrush, and waterpik everyday
more frequent dental cleanings. Typical is every 6 months but sometimes patients need cleanings every 3 or every 4 months.
Hi,

Brush and floss your teeth daily and see a dentist for a proper
cleaning and examination.

Deep periodontal scaling every 3 months , rinse with perioguard , for 1 min, after each brushing least 3 times a day
Gingivitis is a generic term for gum disease. You must go to a trusted dentist and have a full examination . He will evaluate your problem and suggest the best treatment. It could be as simple as a full set of radiographs and reduce inflammation with chlorhexidine mouthwash ,together with deep cleaning and correct home care. Many times a more extensive treatment is required.
A gum specialist known as a Periodontist is necessary to be consulted in a few occasions.
Gingivitis treatment requires you see your dentist for complete exam with xrays and SRP ( scaling and root planning) oral hygiene instructions, and following up with your preventative dental treatment! You are very wise to ask this question!
