You need to visit dentist atleast twice a year. You are suffering from periodontitis which is not completely curable. But if you can maintain very good oral hygiene, then progression of disease can stop. Better you visit to a periodontist.

Gingivitis, go for thorough oral prophylaxis, and proper brushing technique twice a day after meals. If still persists needs x ray and flap surgery.
