Gum Disease Treatment FAQs
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and loose teeth.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, is often reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. Advanced gum disease can usually be managed but not completely reversed.
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and affects only the gums. Periodontitis is a more advanced condition that can damage the supporting bone and tissues around the teeth.
What does periodontal (deep cleaning) treatment involve?
Deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline while smoothing root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance cleanings?
Patients with a history of gum disease are often recommended to receive periodontal maintenance cleanings every three to four months, depending on their individual needs.
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Research has linked gum disease to various health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes complications, and certain respiratory conditions. Maintaining healthy gums supports overall wellness.
