A gum infection cure must always begin with the complete removal of all the plaque and calculus surrounding the teeth. Calculus is a stone like material which is hardened food attached to the crown and roots of a tooth. It's like ocean barnicles that attach to shipping docks and to the hulls of ships. The calculus acts like a bacterial hotel and is teeming with bacterial growth.These bacteria give off toxins and waste that irritate the gums and cause gum swelling and bleeding gums.

           A gum infection cure requires excellent dental home care with daily brushing and flossing to remove food trapped around the teeth. An antibiotic such as tetracycline or doxycycline can kill many of the bacteria living inside calculus but the bacteria will return again. No natural remedy will remove the calculus so professional scaling and root planing is almost always required to remove this irritation.

         A total gum infection cure may also involve changing your diet since it is possible that our modern high carbohydrate high sugar diet is the cause of this problem. What you eat matters. Even natural foods such as raisins can stick to the teeth and cause tooth decay and periodontal disease problems. Liquid foods tend to be more easily swallowed and leave the mouth much more quickly than sticky foods.
