Does gum disease heal by itself?

Depends: If its from dental carries , vitamin deficiency , infections etc then it will not clear up until the underlying cause is treated.

No: See your general dentist, or periodontist, to examine what type of gum disease you may have. Tradionally, gum disease (periodontitis) is a painless infection that can go on for years, and will lead to tooth loss if it isnt treated.

Gum Disease: No, gum disease is not self healing. There is a lot of work that is required both by the patient and the doctor to turn around the progression of the disease. The role of the doctor is to educate and remove all infectious tissue and material from the surface of teeth leaving them clean and smooth. The role of the patient is to develop a homecare habit of daily brushing & flossing the teeth.

No: You have to be treated by the dentist and also you have to maintain good oral hygiene.

Gum disease: Gum disease is an infection process. It gradually continues on and if not treated it will eventually results in loss of teeth. It needs to be evaluated and treated before it's too late.

Bacterial infection: Gum disease is a bacterial infection. The best way to stop the disease is to control the cause or the bacteria. The perio protect method has been shown to kill 99, 98% of the bacteria responsible for gum disease and tooth decay. See if there is a doctor near you who can help you with the perio protect method.

No: Gum disease is an infection of the gum tissues that is caused by bacteria. There are several pathophysiological processes that contribute to it's manifestation and progression. It will not go away on it's own and requires attention before it progresses into a much bigger problem that has serious ramifications.

No: Regardless of if it's gingivitis or advanced periodontal disease, you will need treatment to treat the condition. Bacteria is what causes a majority of diseases in the mouth and it's important to treat the bacteria which in turn will treat the gum disease.

NO WAY: Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a chronic problem and the most prevelant disease in humans. It needs to be treated to eliminate and then maintenance is key to keep it away. Get it checked by a dentist or specialist. Gum disease has been linked to other diseases in the body so just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean nothing is going on. It's a silent assasin. Get rid of it and get healthy.

No: Even the mildest form of gum disease needs an evaluation and a treatment plan developed in consultation with a dentist. I should serve you well.

If ignored gum disease will only worsen, with the infection spreading to other organ systems. Cure requires specific care by your Dentist and, depending on the severity, a specialist Periodontist. But treatment will fail without full and complete patient involvement in the cure. Your practitioner can advised, but nobly you can fully participate. Partial participation is not curative.
