if gingivitis is receding how quickly can it return? I used to have gingivitis and got over it/eradicated it. however I went to the dentist the other day and now im booked in to see the hygienist because my gums were bleeding when he probed them? If gum disease dying could it just return at the drop of a hat or does it not die as such? If not whats the fastest way I cacn get rid of it i dont think it is major anymore just sort of there niggling so i assume it shouldnt be to hard to get rid of?
also what does the dentist mean when he probed your gums (with that spike on a stick) and says “2…2…2…2″ to his assistant on the computer or is that different with everyone?
