Vague: What do you consider "back to normal." do you mean loose teeth, appearance, biting? Gingivitis is treatable but must be continually worked upon by proper home care and consistent visits to the dental office.

Severity: Gingivitis, swelling of the gums, is reversible with professional cleaning and excellent oral hygiene. If more severe periodontitis, irreversible tissue and bone damage occurs. See your dentist or, if recommended, a periodontist.
