Surgery: See a dental specialist called a periodontist. They will probably start you out with a deep cleaning called a scaling and root planing and then perhaps plan on some gum surgery and even the extraction of some teeth.

Aggressive treatment: If you are only 20, then this may be rapidly progressing gum disease which usually needs to be treated surgically. See your dentist for an evaluation.

Professional care: Advanced periodontitis must be treated by a highly trained general dentist or periodontist. The treatment will involve an intense and deep cleaning, use of systemic antibiotics, special rinses, possible gum surgery, rigorous homecare, 3-4 professional cleaning a year and possibly the placement of localized antibiotics. Regardless, there is no real cure, but vigilance will keep it in remission!
