Improve home care: go to your dentist to check pocket depth around your teeth and gums. Many times initial stages of gingival inflammation can be resolved by flossing, cleaning, using mouthwashes. Good luck. Diagnosis by dentist seems to be the right solution

Conservatively: After a proper diagnosis by your dentist, a thorough professional cleaning is recommended. Once your teeth are squeaky clean, then meticulous home care, a healthy diet, and tobacco avoidance should allow your gums to heal to a healthy state.

Oral hygiene: Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gum tissue without any resulting damage to the tissue (YET). Sometimes you need a visit with the hygienist to help start the healing process, but always and I stress always, it is the patient's responsibility to do proper home care to help the healing and prevent the return of gingivitis. Inflamed gum tissues is a risk for heart disease and diabetes.
