Let's Know About
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a bacterial infection that attacks gum tissue and the bone that secures the teeth in place. In its early stages, periodontal disease is known as gingivitis and is often asymptomatic. However, if you are experiencing red, swollen or shiny gums, bad breath or bleeding when brushing or flossing you may have gingivitis or periodontal disease. Gingivitis is a treatable condition that can be reversed, however as it develops the bacteria begins to attack surrounding ligaments and bone. This stage is known as periodontitis. Although it cannot be reversed it can effectively be treated to prevent further spreading.
If left unchecked periodontitis can result in numerous complications including:
- Tooth abscesses
- Infection or abscesses in the soft tissue
- Infection of the jaw bone
- Loosening of the teeth

Surgical Periodontal Therapy
In certain cases, gum disease may progress and require more serious treatment options. This may include a gum graft or pocket reduction. During a pocket reduction, bacteria and infection will be removed, teeth will be smoothened, and the tissue will be attached for healing. A gum graft involves covering exposed roots or tooth structures that may be lost due to gum disease.
