What Is Gum Disease Treatment?

Gum disease is a progressive inflammatory condition that can damage the tissues that hold your teeth in place, including the gums, periodontal ligaments, and jawbone. Periodontal treatment focuses on removing harmful bacteria and deposits to stabilize these tissues and prevent further damage.

Depending on the stage of your gum disease, care may range from early gingivitis treatment to more advanced periodontitis treatment. The goal is to stop the progression of the disease and protect the foundation of your teeth.

What Happens If You Don’t Treat Gum Disease?

Without timely treatment, gum disease leads to bone loss in the jaw, making it the number one cause of tooth loss. Inflammation from gum disease can also spread to other parts of the body, increasing your risk of systemic health problems:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Pancreatitis
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Reproductive health issues
  • Cognitive decline in the elderly years

Our Gum Disease Treatment Options

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment that removes plaque and bacteria from below the gumline. This deep cleaning of the gums helps smooth the tooth roots, allowing your gums to heal and reattach. It’s one of the most effective ways to manage early to moderate gum disease and prevent it from progressing.
  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning for Gums)
Specialized products can help control bacteria and support healing between visits. Prescription-strength formulas target infection more effectively than over-the-counter options. These products play an important role in maintaining results after your initial treatment for bleeding gums.
  • Prescription Toothpaste & Mouthwash
In some cases, antibiotics help eliminate stubborn bacteria that cause infection. They may be applied directly to the gums or taken orally, depending on your needs. This approach supports more advanced cases and is often part of advanced gum disease care.
