Brush brush brush: Depending on how advanced your condition is, excellent home care might help a lot. Certainly, the basics are thorough brushing and flossing. See your dental professional to have your home care regimen evaluated.

See dentist first!: Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, might be able to be reversed or eliminated from proper brushing and flossing. Periodontitis, the more advanced stage, requires professional treatment from a dentist. You really can't diagnose which stage you have on your own and therefore need to be evaluated by a dentist. Even in the early stages, without professional care, things will only worsen.
