The best natural gum disease treatment is to keep you teeth immaculately clean so they never accumulate plaque and calculus. Time cleaning your teeth is time well spent if keeping your teeth your whole lifetime is the goal. The bacteria that live in the mouth love sugars and carbohydrates. It's not just candy that causes tooth decay and gum disease but also cereals. Anything that sticks to your teeth is a problem.

          Baking soda has long been considered a natural gum disease treatment. There's even a commercial toothpaste made by Arm and Hammer that has baking soda as a primary ingredient. The baking soda severely changes the pH or acid environment of the mouth. This kills the bacteria who do not like their normal habitat changed.

          Peroxide has also been considered a natural gum disease treatment. Many commercial toothpastes such as MentaDent include this substance as an active ingredient. Peroxide is a poison to bacteria and it screws up the bacteria's energy system. Peroxide also dissolves blood and breaks it apart.

          If you look at Mankind's history, there was very little dental decay and gum disease prior to the agricultural period. It was only when Man processed foods that a serious problems appeared. You could argue that ancient Man never lived long enough to develop periodontal disease and that would result in a very interesting argument. Early Man didn't need a natural gum disease treatment.
