Is gum disease curable considering I attend regular dental visits?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

I recently visited my dentist and she spoke to me about gum disease. When she was talking about my gums she mentioned stage 2 and stage 3. How do the stages of gum disease work and is gum disease reversible? Does this mean my teeth will fall out? I do brush my teeth twice daily, use mouth wash and a tooth pick. I visit my dentist every 6 months and have regular scrapes and polishes. Can vitamin tablets help? I know it’s a lot but thanks anyway
