There is no single gum infection remedy that works in all cases. Each case of gum disease must be carefully reviewed and diagnosed to determine the best path of periodontal treatment. No pill or rinse by itself is going to remove the calculus attached to the sides of the teeth which is causing the infection.

          Calculus is full of bacteria which create acids and toxins that irritate the gums. Killing the bacteria inside the calculus or removing the calculus is an absolutely necessary in any successful gum infection remedy. Removing calculus is a mechanical thing, meaning it has to be done by hand. The procedure is called scaling and root planing. Once this irritation is removed, a patient has lots of options to prevent future problems. This is where home remedies can play a factor in preventing further difficulties.

          A gum infection remedy reduces the number of bacteria living in the gingival tissues. This can be done by keeping the tissues healthy with fantastic daily home care, keeping yourself healthy in general and possibly taking supplements. Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q are both good supplements that help the periodontal tissue defend themselves against bacterial invasion. Oral rinses can also assist in this process.
