Find a new dentist: One who treats more aggressively and thoroughly. There are vast differences in dentists. Demand a well - designed treatment plan to get rid of your disease. Follow it and you will be better in one month.

Gingivitis: You need more than just a single cleaning to treat inflamed gums. Have you seen the dentist since your initial cleaning? Have you followed the dentist's recommendations? Has all your recommended dental treatment been completed? Do you brush and floss twice a day? Do you smoke? Are you pregnant ? If you answered yes then see a periodontist for an evaluation of your bleeding gums.

See your dentist : again for re-evaluation. You may need subgingival (deep cleaning) and root planning to remove: contamination, toxins, micro-organisms, plaque, and calculus that have accumulated around and below the gum. The root surfaces of your teeth are smoothed so the gum tissues can more firmly reattach and heal. Take care.
