More information: To accurately answer your question, we would need to know what disease you're talking about. If it's periodontal disease, the only "home remedy" available is routine and meticulous brushing and flossing along with an antibacterial mouthwash like listerine or crest prohealth. This only helps after all the bacterial tartar is removed by your dentist, however.

Periodontal Disease?: If so, the cure is not a do it yourself project. Lack of proper treatment will result in tooth loss. Home care is to maintain your dental health, not treat problems.. You dentist will do that for you.
