In most cases debridement, either surgical or non-surgical, is recommended, and it is completed with antimicrobial therapy. These antibiotics are crucial in treating the infection.After treatment, it is important that patients continue to maintain a good oral hygiene routine with twice daily brushing and flossing. This is important in removing plaque deposits that could cause further problems for the gums and teeth. Mouthwash can also be helpful in reducing the bacteria in the oral cavity.
