WHAT IS
Gum Diseases Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that can damage the bone and tissue that support your teeth. Treatment for gum disease depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases can often be treated with good oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing twice a day and regular dental visits. More advanced cases may require scaling and root planing, which involves scraping away plaque and tartar from the teeth and root surfaces, and medication such as antibiotics or antiseptic mouthwashes. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to restore the health of the gums and supporting structures.

FAQ's About
Gum Diseases Treatment
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and surrounding tissues caused by bacteria that build up in the mouth. It is also known as periodontal disease. It can cause inflammation and pain and can lead to receding gums, tooth loss, and other serious health problems.
Gum disease can be treated with a variety of methods including professional dental cleaning, antibiotics, and surgery. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment can include scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery, and gum grafts.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to remove the buildup of bacteria, tartar, and plaque from the teeth and gums. This procedure is done under a local anesthetic and can help reduce gum inflammation and prevent further gum disease.
Pocket reduction surgery is a procedure used to reduce the depth of the pockets between the teeth and gums. This can help reduce the number of bacteria that can accumulate in the area and improve the overall health of the gums.
The best way to prevent gum disease is to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing twice a day and visiting your dentist for occasional checkups.
No, gum disease treatment is not painful. Treatment for gum disease can include a deep cleaning, antibiotics, and occasionally surgery. The deep cleaning procedure is not painful, but there may be some discomfort during the process. Antibiotics can be taken orally or applied directly to the gums, depending on the severity of the infection. Surgery may be painful, but it is usually done under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
