Gum Disease Treatment
A targeted therapy to halt the progression of gum disease and restore the health of infected gum tissue.
What is it
A range of professional treatments designed to stop the progression of bacterial infection in the gums, reduce inflammation, and restore the health of the gum tissue and supporting bone.
How it works
The dentist assesses the severity of the gum disease and cleans infected pockets through scaling and root planing, with more advanced cases addressed using laser therapy, antibiotics, or surgical intervention.
How it helps
Stops the progression of gum infection, reduces inflammation, and protects the supporting bone and tissue from the irreversible damage that untreated gum disease causes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with signs of gum disease, including bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, swollen or receding gums, or loose teeth that have not yet received periodontal care.
What is the typical experience?
The dentist assesses the severity of the disease and outlines a treatment plan at the first visit. Most patients see noticeable improvement in gum health within several weeks of completing the recommended treatment.
How long does it usually take?
Most cases are addressed over two to four appointments spaced a few weeks apart. Noticeable improvement in gum health is typically seen within four to six weeks of completing treatment.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Gum disease is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, not a one-time fix. Regular periodontal maintenance visits after treatment are essential to keep the disease from progressing again.
What should I know about recovery after?
Most patients see noticeable improvement in gum health within a few weeks of completing treatment. Some mild tenderness following deep cleaning visits is normal and resolves quickly.
