    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    Gingivitis is reversible and usually clears up fairly easily with proper treatment. After a thorough dental cleaning, gingivitis should be gone in a few days to several weeks. Your dentist may also recommend fixing any ill-fitting dental work that may have caused your gingivitis or made it worse. However, you need to consistently practice good oral hygiene at home to prevent a recurrence in the future.
