Gum Disease Treatment

In the initial phase of gum disease, periodontal tissues start to swell, bleed and tender. If left untreated, the condition can worsen and progress into a more advanced infection called periodontitis. In this phase, the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets of bacteria which can lead to tooth loss as the infectious bacteria damage the jawbone, teeth and other oral structures.

Treatment Options

The periodontal care may depend on the severity of the disease. Your dental professional will evaluate your mouth and recommend an appropriate treatment. If the disease is treated in the early phase, there will be no damage to the gum tissue and you may be recommended for one or two regular cleaning. You will be instructed on how you can improve your oral hygiene practices. If the disease is severe and progressed to more advanced stages, you will be recommended to take up other treatment options which can best suit you.
