Gum disease treatment is designed to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and below your gumline. We offer several types of gum disease treatment, including scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and antibacterial irrigation. Your dentist will help decide on the right type of treatment based on your needs.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and potentially fall out.
No, you can’t cure gum disease at home, not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
