Yes, it can. The best way to prevent gingivitis is to see your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and to have proper home care by brushing and flossing your teeth everyday to prevent what causes the gingivitis. The periodontist is the specialist responsible for treating gum diseases and once it has been treated, it can be maintained by your general dentist.
