What to Expect During Your Gum Disease Treatment
During your visit, our team carefully examines your gums, checking for inflammation, plaque buildup, and any signs of periodontal issues. We review your medical history and discuss any symptoms you may have noticed, such as bleeding or sensitivity.
If needed, digital X-rays are taken to evaluate areas below the gumline. Treatment may include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gums, along with antimicrobial treatments to reduce bacteria and support healing.
Your dentist will finish by providing personalized guidance on at-home care, including brushing, flossing, and oral rinses, and will answer any questions so you leave feeling informed and confident about your gum health.
Why Gum Disease Treatment Matters
Regular treatment and monitoring of gum health are crucial for preventing tooth loss and maintaining overall oral health. Here are six key benefits:
Prevents Tooth Loss
Treating gum disease early helps protect your teeth from loosening or falling out due to infection or bone loss.
Reduces Gum Inflammation
Professional care minimizes swelling, redness, and bleeding, improving comfort and gum appearance.
Stops Disease Progression
Timely treatment prevents periodontal issues from advancing to more severe stages requiring complex procedures.
Improves Oral Hygiene
Scaling and root planing remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t reach, promoting a healthier mouth.
Protects Overall Health
Maintaining gum health reduces risks associated with heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions linked to periodontal problems.
Enhances Confidence
Healthy gums support strong teeth and a clean smile, boosting confidence in social and professional interactions.
