You can get rid of gum disease by brushing your teeth regularly, flossing regularly, using mouthwash regularly and even seeing a dentist for a professional teeth and gum cleaning.

Other steps you can take to get rid of gum disease include.

Brush your teeth twice a day with Corsodyl Toothpaste.
Floss to remove plaque from between your teeth.
Regularly visit a dentist to remove plaque build-up and help prevent gum disease.

Periodontitis, also called gum disease, is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth.

Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen or lead to tooth loss.

Periodontitis is common but largely preventable.

Gum disease can be cured.

Essentially, it's all about removing bacteria from your mouth and allowing the gums to heal back to a healthy state.

If you want to get rid of gum disease, the first step is to get the right education so that you know how to clean your teeth effectively at home.

Gum disease can sometime be reversed as long as the gum disease is only mild and not severe.

If the gum disease is only mild it's known as gingivitis which can usually be reversed if caught soon enough and treated soon enough before the gum disease progresses.

Gingivitis is treated and reversed through daily teeth brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist.

If the gum disease is too far progressed then the only thing that can be done is prevent further progression of the gum disease.

The longer you leave the gum disease untreated the worse it will get and eventually the gum disease can lead to tooth decay and other health issues.
