See your dentist: By definition gingivitis is inflammatory, but a non-destructive, curable disease. After the first step, removing the source of the infection by your dentist, the home treatment is the key. Brush and floss properly 2 times a day and see your dentist every 6 months for prophylaxis - the best cure for gingivitis.
