Is there a cheap way to fix gum disease?

Dental School: You can inquire at a local dental school regarding treatment at a reduced fee. You will be treated by students and will receive excellent health care. Periodontal problems are managed, but difficult to permanently "fix".

Discount dental plan: If a patient brushes twice daily, flosses every day, joins discount dental plan and watches for early signs of infection, he or she may never have to pay exorbitant prices for gum disease procedures again.

NO: AS others have said you will need meticulous care for treatment of gum disease. The pt can have planing and scaling done first to see if this will control the problem. If not may require some surgery to pare the gums down to hold to the neck of the tooth. See a periodontist for the best answer.

Yes: Brush and floss your teeth, but only the ones you want to keep.
