No, baking soda cannot 'cure' gum disease (periodontal disease). Currently, there is no universal cure for gum disease. Gum disease can usually be effectively 'controlled' with proper care and treatment, but once periodontal disease has been diagnosed, the signs and symptoms can return at any time.
Periodontal disease is differentiated from simple gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) by the loss of periodontal attachment, that is the destruction of the tissue surrounding the teeth that attach the tooth to the jaw. A dentist or dental hygienist can examine your teeth and gums and tell you if you have periodontal disease or gingivitis.
Baking soda can be incorporated into the treatment of gum disease, but has never been demonstrated to be effective in the control of gum disease by itself.
The first step in controlling gum disease is determining the cause of the disease and the extent of the condition. The most common cause of gum disease is long-term poor oral hygiene and lack of professional care in a dental office. If caught early, gum disease can usually be controlled with improved oral hygiene and non-surgical treatment in a dental office. If the disease is advanced or severe, sometimes surgery is necessary to get the condition under control.
Other factors that impact gum disease include smoking, worn out dental fillings or crowns, systemic conditions such as Diabetes, a family history of gum disease (genetic predisposition), some medications, and inadequate nutrition.
The best course of action is to see a qualified dentist and follow his/her advice.

What is the ratio for baking soda and Hydrogen peroxide to treat gum disease?
When using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, use just enough hydrogen peroxide to make the baking soda "pasty" enough to pick up on your toothbrush. For a single application, try using one teaspoon of baking soda, then add peroxide little by little. If it gets too wet, add some more baking soda. The exact ratio is not too scientific.Also - try using equal parts of table salt and baking soda in the mix, then add the appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide. To make it easy, some people make the mix right in the palm of their hand, but it could irritate your skin so you'll have to see for yourself.Either way, get it on your brush, and apply it into your gums using little wiggly back-and-forth movements of the brush at the gum line. You can also "tap" the mixture into the gums where they form a collar around the teeth, especially in areas where you know you may have deeper pockets in the gums.See your dentist for a complete periodontal examination and his/her recommendations if you have or even if you think you have gum disease.

Can you use baking powder and xanthan gum and baking soda in a cake?
You can use any or all of these in cake baking. You cannot necessarily use them interchangeably and expect identical results. It is quite usual to use both baking soda and baking powder in the same cake, especially if the recipe calls for an acid ingredient like fruit which will activate the baking soda, but in this case the volume of baking powder has usually been reduced. Baking powder mixes usually contain a small proportion of baking soda anyway. Xanthan gum is most commonly used in making gluten-free products. Gluten is the protein found in flour. Heat, as in baking, toughens protein. Raising agents like baking soda and baking powder give off little bubbles of carbon dioxide during the baking process and these bubbles are held in place by the toughening gluten, rather like little balloons being blown up - this is what causes a cake to rise and hold its shape. Xanthan gum is used in a similar way to add thickness and volume to gluten-free products. If you are wanting to add these raising agents to make a gluten-free product then read the label on the baking powder - it often contains gluten.
