Treatment of Periodontitis
In the earlier stages of the disease, most of the treatment involves root planing and curettage (cleaning) under the gum margins. It involves the removal of plaque and inflamed soft tissue in the pockets around the tooth with an instrument called a curette. Its purpose is to remove the bacterial colonies and the mechanical and chemical irritants that cause inflammation in hopes that the disease can be eradicated. The goal is that the gum will reattach itself to the tooth or will shrink enough to eliminate the pocket.
In most early cases, root planing, curettage, and proper daily plaque removal are all that are required for a satisfactory result.
In more advanced cases, the treatment may become more complex. If after removal of the deposits, fairly deep pockets remain, they can be eliminated by a minor surgical procedure called gingivectomy. This is done under local anesthesia, and a medicinal dressing is placed to cover the wound area for a week or so while it heals.
A similar procedure, called gingivoplasty, is used to remove excessive gum tissue and to provide a new and healthier shape for the gums.
In some cases, flap procedures are performed. The gum tissue in an area is lifted away from the teeth, all the underlying inflamed tissue and calculus are removed, the bone may then be reconstructed to a proper shape and the gum is then replaced to proper position and sutured. Healing of these procedures takes from seven to 21 days and is usually uneventful, although not without some expected post-operative discomfort.
Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed to treat gum inflammation

Try a Yahoo search for periodontitis + "natural remedies".
I would advise you try and get hold of some Mangosteen Juice(containing extract from both the fruit and the pulp rind).
I live in the the Philippines now, and my build up of tooth plaque was always quick and heavy after a teeth clean by the dentist. And my gums were receding. Reading about it's dental benefits, I made a tincture out of the fruit, seeds and pulp of the mangosteen(easy to get mangosteen fruit here). I would swill and brush my teeth once or twice every couple of days using just a tablespoon of this tincture.
It's been six months since I've been for my last dental clean( I usually go once every six months) and my teeth are completely clear of any bplaque. My teeth are naturally whiter(I'm 55 y o) and my gums are no longer sore.
Just try a google search with "mangosteen benefits" and see all the health benefits.
Good luck
