Cure for gum disease: Cure for for gum disease? Good home care like dailyr brushing and flossing, plus regular professional cleaning and check ups at least twice a year or even more, if the dentists and hygienist suggest. Prevention is the key.

Good hygiene: You must be thoroughly checked by you dentist to see if you need to be referred to a periodontist( gum specialist) to prevent further damage and bone loss.

Remission!: Treatment for gum disease starts with a visit to your dentist. You will need a comprehensive exam, periodontal charting, x-rays all in order for a proper diagnosis. Once your condition is established, your dentist can discuss your individual treatment needs, go over your responsibility for maintenance at home and frequency of repeat professional visits. Gum disease can go into remission, not cured
