Is there any real permanent cure for gum disease?


Doctors say that the disease can be controled, but it will always remain with you for the rest of your life. What exactly this means and how confident I can be that with proper care I can have my teeth for life? Is there any hope for permanent cure?

A gum specialist (periodontist) will help you.
The aim is to clean up the gums to return them to good health. Any bone loss that has occurred cannot be reversed, but you can HALT the disease and prevent further damage. Because you have had this damage, it makes you more likely to have it again if you don't MAINTAIN your teeth as per instructions from the periodontist. So it is a permanent cure if you look after the result. The treatment doesn't make you invulnerable!
The most important thing is to seek treatment ASAP (just like any health problem), and your chances of success in the long term will be better.
All patients I have referred have been very happy with the results, and wish they'd done something about it sooner.
PS - mouthwashes will not help you.
