best corrected with flossing consistently and brushing properly and frequently.

Gingivitis is an infection in the gums, but there is no infection or loss of the bone surrounding the teeth. There are no medications currently that can treat gingivitis. The best treatments involve mechanical disruption of the bacteria, similar to washing dirt off of a car. Gingivitis can be managed at home with good toothbrushing and flossing. It is recommended that you see a dentist at minimum two times per year for a professional cleaning, so that tartar (or hardened deposits of bacteria) can be removed.

Gingivitis is best solved by improving daily oral hygiene routine. Proper brushing involves a 2 minute brush time twice daily as well as flossing at least once per day for elimination of gingivitis. Unfortunately there is no substitute for this even in the presence of oral rinses or other formulas applied topically.
