How do you get rid of gum disease, gingivitis?

Good oral hygiene: Good oral hygiene is the key. Regular brushing and flossing to remove the bacteria or plaque off the teeth which is the cause of gum disease. A visit to the dentist would be the first step. If you have gum disease, it would be necessary to have a deep cleaning to remove all the plaque and hard deposits on the teeth in order to start the healing process. Visit your dentist regularly.

Ckeaning: Brushing, and flossing regularly every day and after every meal. Getting your appropriate cleanings done with the dentist every year.

See a periodontist: I would suggest a consult with a periodontist to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan best suited for you.

Don't give up!: If your good habits at home, i.e. Brushing and flossing, don't reduce the problem, you may have more serious periodontitis rather than just gingivitis. See your dentist soon.
