You will need to see a dentist and have your condition evaluated and then treated by a professional
The first thing to find out is do you have gingivitis or periodontitis. If you only have gingivitis, a dental cleaning followed by proper home care should do the trick. If you are a mouth breather or on certain medications, that should be discussed with the hygienist.
Depending on how severe the gingivitis is, you may need a deep cleaning. Also, improve your home care with flossing every night, brushing twice a day with a soft toothbrush, using oral rinses and seeing a dentist every 6 months.
