Absolutely! That and diet (a raw diet can be great for dental health and the overall immune system). Also, I wonder if part of the gum inflammation has to do with teething? If it were me, I would certainly wait and see what happens (especially since your kitty doesn't have any symptoms of pain at this time), and then get another opinion or 2 before making a decision on surgery.
