Early stages gum disease - anyone has it?

So, after moving areas and changing dentists I have been diagnosed with early stages periodontitis. My previous dentist never mentioned it, but he also never did a BPE, and only took C Rays once. I have some minor bone loss (1-2 mm around some molars).

I guess my early 20s and pregnancies wrecked my teeth. I have been using interdental brushes and flossing since I got diagnosed and have a deep clean next week.

I'm terrified Blush ! Is it painful? Will it be enough to stop it? From what I understood I can't really stop it just keep on top of it.

Hello, recently been told I have gum disease but I have no idea what stage I'm at. Got a feeling it's fairly advanced due to black triangles already forming.

Have they given you a treatment plan?
