Hello. I understand your concerns. Gum disease can only be treated effectively by your dentist and/or periodontist. We are opening next week, and would be happy to help you get treated as soon as possible, as the longer you go without treatment, the harder it is to control the disease and the damage it causes to both your teeth and your health.
Thanks for you question.
Hello,

Most dental offices have closed between March 17th and remain closed until next week because of the virus. Most of us will treat emergencies and after we get permission from the Governor as to when we can fully re-open, you can be treated for you gum situation. Just call and leave your contact information or email drlender@yahoo.com and someone can contact you once it is safe to open to help schedule a consultation.
Hope this helps.
Offices are reopening now

Gum disease can be a slow thing and not generally considered a life-threatening emergency. For your safety, I recommend you wait until the pandemic is over to consult with your Periodontist or Dentist to weigh your treatment options.
Take care.
