“Does gingivitis go away after tooth extraction?”
I was diagnosed with gingivitis and will also have a tooth extraction on that side. Does gingivitis go away after tooth extraction?

Gingivitis is generalized. You have to have all teeth in that region extracted in order to get away from it. Keep it clean so it will not get worse.
Only the gingivitis that was directly around and associated with that tooth will go away. If you were diagnosed with gingivitis on other or surrounding teeth, the gingivitis will still be there on those teeth.
