No: Once you are diagnose with gum disease, you have it for life. You can only stop it from getting worst by doing your part with good flossing, brushing, and rinsing and getting your regular 3-4 month cleaning by the dentist or hygienist for areas that you can not reach. For moderate to severe periodontitis, products like rx mouth rinse or antibiotics like Arestin may be recommended.

Not related : Gum disease is caused by bacteria causing disease in the gum. Root canal is needed when another type of bacteria penetrates tooth structure and reaches the nerve inside the tooth therefore u needed a root canal. No product will get of gum disease or root canal. Only dentist can diagnose and treat.

See below: A root canal is a different treatment than for gum disease. Think of the inside of the tooth as lead in a pencil. The lead has to be removed because of infection in the nerve of the tooth and a rubber material ( usually gutta percha) is placed in the canal of the root. Gum disease surrounds the teeth and has little to do with the nerve in most cases. We don't recommend you buy products
