Gum Disease Treatment for Healthier Gums
Gum disease is a serious infection that affects the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Early treatment helps control infection, prevent further damage, and restore your oral health. Whether you have gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease, we can tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Process
- Your dentist will examine your gums, review your oral health, and measure the depth of your gum pockets to determine the severity of gum disease.

- Scaling and root planing may be recommended to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria beneath the gum line and smooth the tooth roots.
- If advanced periodontal disease has affected the jawbone, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be recommended to restore support for your teeth.
