Q

Can periodontitis be cured at home?

A

Some people may be able to treat and reverse gum disease on their own at home, though the process may take several months or years as opposed to several weeks with a dentist. Home remedies for gum disease include using dental curettes, scalers, and a water flosser, and essential oils that can effectively kill bacteria. Using herbs and performing oil pulling may also be effective at treating gum disease at home. Many at-home remedies for gum disease are based on anecdotal evidence; therefore, you may want to visit a dentist to ensure your condition is properly treated.
