What an innovative ideas you have shared on how to prevent from gum disease. Tips are really helpful and effective. The only type of periodontal disease that can be cured is gingivitis, which can be reversed with treatment in the dental office and good oral care at home. Gum disease is generally not curable but it is both treatable and more importantly, preventable.
