Not usually, see you dentist for a full diagnosis and treatment plan to improve your gum health.
No, You need to seek professional care.
It's always best to see your dentist for evaluation and a treatment. At home a patient should ideally brush and floss after each meal .Various mouth rinses can be used including salt water. Brushing with a soft electric brush with baking soda deacidifies the mouth ,whitens teeth and can help heal gums . Optimum oral health involves a partnership between the dentist and a willing patient to reach ideal gingival health.
No, not on it's own. The cause of the gum infection has to be determined and appropriate treatment has to be implemented.
