This question is like asking the best medication for a splinter in your finger. Getting rid of the cause gets rid of the problem. Take out the splinter, clean wound = healing. In your mouth, thorough cleaning by dental hygienist and having her show you how to keep calculus, plaque, and biofilm off your teeth = healing. Medication, such as prescription mouthwash (Perioguard), can speed the healing, but isn’t essential.
