Gum Disease Treatment Process

Learn about the step-by-step approach to treating gum disease for a healthier smile.

Professional Dental Cleaning

The initial stage of treatment involves a professional dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This is usually performed by a dental hygienist or dentist. Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline.

Medications

Antibiotics may be prescribed to control bacterial infection and inflammation. They can be in the form of oral antibiotics or topical antibiotics applied directly to the affected areas.

Maintenance and Home Care

Patients are advised on proper oral hygiene practices, including regular and effective brushing, flossing, and the use of antiseptic mouthwashes. Follow-up appointments with the dentist or dental hygienist are crucial for monitoring progress and ensuring that the disease is under control.

Lifestyle Changes

Smoking and tobacco use can impair the healing process, so quitting is often recommended. Adopting a healthier lifestyle, including a balanced diet and managing stress, can contribute to overall gum health.

Periodontal Surgery (Advanced Cases)

In severe cases, where deep pockets of infection and damage to the supporting structures are present, surgical intervention may be necessary. Procedures such as flap surgery, bone or tissue grafts, and guided tissue regeneration may be performed.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular dental check-ups are essential for monitoring the condition and preventing a recurrence of gum disease. Maintenance cleanings, often scheduled more frequently than routine cleanings, may be recommended to keep the gums healthy.

Symptoms of Gum Disease

Spot signs of gum disease early with these common symptoms. Protect your smile with proper dental care.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can manifest in various symptoms. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

Swollen or Red Gums: Inflammation and redness of the gums can be early signs of gum disease.
Bleeding Gums: Gums that bleed during brushing, flossing, or even spontaneously can indicate gum disease.
Persistent Bad Breath: Also known as halitosis, persistent bad breath can be a result of the bacteria in gum disease.
Tender or Painful Gums: Gums that are tender to the touch or painful can be a sign of gum disease, especially if the discomfort persists.
Loose Teeth: Advanced gum disease can cause the supporting bone and tissues to deteriorate, leading to loose teeth.
Changes in Bite: As the teeth become loose due to gum disease, there may be changes in how your teeth fit together when you bite.

Had my cleaning done with Amanda who was incredibly thorough and such a pleasure to chat with. Had my cleaning done about 20 minutes after being shook by the little earthquake so my anxiety level was a little high. Amanda was gentle and very informative throughout the cleaning. She made me feel calm and relaxed in her care. Dr. Sinha then came in to check my X-rays and my teeth. I love that he takes his time and doesn’t rush through. He offers great explanation into his decision making process and I think he’s one the most honest dentists I have encountered. The energy in this practice is so positive and it was all around a great experience. They stay up to date with the newest advances in dental care and the office is super clean. I am happy to be a patient here. 💯 recommend to anyone who cares about their teeth and is looking for a great dentist. Thank you guys for being so awesome!❤️

Everyone somewhere and someone have something to complain about but with them not one complaint. Please use them as your regular. You won’t be disappointed with your results.
