How is gum disease treated?
Gum disease treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene practices may be sufficient for mild cases. More advanced cases may require scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline. In severe instances, surgical treatments may be necessary to repair and regenerate lost bone and tissue. Our comprehensive approach to treating periodontal disease ensures that you receive the most effective care for your condition.
