My gums often bleed when I brush, and my dentist said I have early gum disease. He suggested scaling. I was wondering if there are things I can do at home to reverse gum disease, or if it needs professional treatment always?

Yes, early gum disease like gingivitis is totally reversible! Maintaining good physical fitness and overall immunity helps your body fight oral infections much better, so keep up with your daily exercises and stay healthy.

Yes, if it is just bleeding gums or gingivitis, it is completely reversible. But you must get a professional scaling done by a dentist first.

Don't believe home remedies like rubbing salt or mustard oil on your gums to cure gum disease. If the plaque has turned into hard tartar, only a dentist can clean it with proper scaling. Go for a dental checkup instead of trying online hacks.
