The treatment can be done by maintaining good oral health. The patient should brush regularly despite the pain and bleeding. The brushing reduces the chance of further infection through the normal bacteria present in the mouth. The infected tissue may need to be cleaned through a process called debridement. Mouth washing should be done to avoid spread of infection. |
