Q: Are there any home remedies to get rid of periodontal disease?
A: If there were, I’d be out of business. Other than mechanical removal, there are a variety of natural, organic, anti-plaque agents on the market. I don’t advocate anything in particular, but I do avoid alcohol-containing mouthwashes like Listerine. If someone wants to use that to freshen their mouth, I recommend they dilute it – not use it full-strength. Tom’s of Maine makes some interesting products. Each person gets different results from different products. One product might work for one patient but not be the best for another.
