01.

Process of Gum Disease Treatment

Initial Examination: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your gums and teeth, which may include measuring pocket depth and taking X-rays to assess bone loss and determine the severity of gum disease.

Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning involves two steps—scaling to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gums, and root planing to smooth the roots, helping gums reattach and reducing future buildup.

Local Anesthesia: To ensure comfort, the area being treated is typically numbed with local anesthesia for a pain-free procedure.

Antibacterial Treatment: After cleaning, antibacterial or antimicrobial agents may be applied to the gum pockets to promote healing and control bacteria.

02.

Next Steps

Daily Oral Care: Maintain consistent brushing and flossing habits, and use any prescribed antimicrobial rinses to help manage bacteria levels.

Regular Checkups: Visit us routinely to monitor your gum health and catch any early signs of disease to prevent it from returning.

Watch for Changes: If you feel discomfort or notice gum inflammation coming back, reach out to our office for timely evaluation and treatment.
