Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully get your gums back into shape, or they will use a gentle laser to remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back at the same time.
Gum disease, even in its early stages, cannot be cured at home. The condition results from bacterial plaque and tartar accumulating between teeth and gums, in areas inaccessible to regular brushing and flossing. Treatment requires professional intervention by a dental team. We will use specialized instruments to remove bacteria from these hard-to-reach areas and smooth tooth roots to prevent further bacterial buildup. This process, which can’t be replicated with home care alone, is essential for effectively treating gum disease.
In its early stages, there are often no noticeable symptoms of gum disease. However, there are several signs of gum disease you should look out for. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, or if they’re red and puffy and sore to the touch, you may be experiencing gum disease. If any of these signs are present, we recommend you contact our office as soon as possible for an appointment.
