Cleaning out thi gum: Gingivitis is eliminated but not cured if you don't practice good oral hygiene the problem will recur all deposits clinging to the teeth above and below the gums are removed and you will be shown how to manage plaque the soft n material composed of bacteria and dead cells and saliva if you keep this under control and go regularly for professional cleanings you will be fine.

Gums that bleed: Gingivitis is the beginning stages, and by definition, your gums are inflamed, and you might see them bleed when you brush and floss. If this is left untreated, then the infection moves deeper into the jaw, and it progresses to the more severe, periodontal disease. See the dentist; you may need a deep cleaning and evaluation.

Cleaning: By proper cleaning but remember if you don't brush and floss properly than it will be back in matter of a week.
