What care do you take when diagnosed with gum disease?

Is there any one who was completely treated for gum disease? what home care did you take? what are the other options for flossing?

I'm hoping that when your dentist diagnosed you he had you make an appointment for a deep cleaning and if necessary, surgery to remove all the bad tissue. I had surgery on my back teeth plus the deep cleaning. Then cleanings every 4-6 months until my gums where in good shape, now I get cleaning done once a year. At home I brush at least once a day, twice is better and floss once in every 24 hour period. It does not have to be done when you brush. Also use a good, gum disease fighting mouthwash. I personally use the old Listerine. It is strong and doesn't taste wonderful but I tell ya it really does the trick for me. Using a good dental pick after meals and a good rinsing, if not brushing, after you eat anything can be a big help too. And one very important thing that many people don't realize is you must change your toothbrush often. Once a month at first until your gums get better if you can afford it. I am at twice a year now. And to avoid damaging your gums further, use a soft bristled tooth brush and a toothpaste that helps fight tarter/ a 'complete' is good too. Best of luck to you, I know it isn't fun.

first n foremost..vsit the dentist, n solve the root cause of the gingivitis..

there are areas in ur mouth where the floss, brush or mouthwashes fail to act..an ultrasonic or a hand scaling bi-anually wud do wonders mate!

bout the care..no matter what u do..if u dont get rid of the sub-gingival calculus, every mornin wen u brush..the gums will bleed.

use stain free mouthwashes, but frankly ..al these are jus a temporary measure..go for a scaling.
