How Is Gum Disease Treated?
Gum disease is treatable, especially when caught early. From regular cleanings to deeper treatments, learn how we can help restore your gum health in this informative video.
Gum disease is never ideal, but the good news is that it is highly treatable. Depending on the severity, treatment can range from mild to more intensive approaches. In its early stages, gum disease can often be managed with a regular cleaning. In cases where the disease is more pronounced, we may need to perform a deeper cleaning, known as scaling and root planing, where we clean the root surfaces of your teeth.
For moderate gum disease, a deep cleaning is typically required. However, if the gum disease has advanced and significant bone loss has occurred, we may need to consider surgical options to reposition the gums and eliminate the deep pockets that harbor harmful bacteria.
The key to effective treatment is early detection. Catching gum disease in its early stages is crucial for preventing more serious complications. If you suspect you have gum disease, it’s important to address it promptly. Don’t wait—please give us a call so we can help you take care of it as soon as possible.
