Gum Treatment
Saving Your Tooth and
Relieving Pain for a Healthier Smile
What Is Gum Treatment?
Gum treatment involves procedures to address gum disease and improve gum health. Common treatments include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, antibiotic therapy to control infections, and gum grafting to cover receded areas. Pocket reduction surgery and laser therapy may be used for severe cases. These treatments help reduce inflammation, restore gum attachment, and prevent further oral health issues. Regular dental care supports these efforts.

FAQs
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It’s typically caused by poor oral hygiene that leads to plaque buildup. The two main types are gingivitis (mild form) and periodontitis (more severe).
Many gum treatments are performed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Post-treatment, mild soreness might occur but is usually manageable.
Treatment duration varies; scaling and root planing usually take one to two hours, while more extensive procedures like gum grafting may require longer and multiple visits.
Recovery time depends on the procedure. Mild treatments like scaling may have minimal downtime, while more invasive procedures might require a few weeks for complete healing.
Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is crucial for sustaining gum health post-treatment.
Possible risks include temporary discomfort, bleeding, or swelling. Rarely, infections or reactions to anesthesia can occur. Following post-treatment care instructions helps minimize these risks.
