Does using mouthwash everyday helps to treat my gum disease?

Not particularly: Gum disease needs to be treated by a dentist, or a periodontist if it is severe. Please be seen and treated, then follow their directions to maintain a healthy mouth and smile.

See your dentist: An antibacterial mouthwash, like one with alcohol or chlorhexidine, may help prevent periodontal disease. Mouthwash is by no means a cure-all or replace visit to your dentist. See your dentist for periodontal evaluation, x-rays and treatment plan.
