The use of mouthwash as a part of oral hygiene regimen is recommended and it reduces inflammation. But in case of infection you need the help of a periodontist.
No
Thank you for your question.
No, mouthwash alone can not heal gum infection with long lasting effect. It is at the best a temporary relief. The commercial mouthwashes have harsh chemicals killing good and bad bacteria and causing problems for the epithelialization and the wound healing. You need to see a periodontist.
