Gum Treatment

Gum treatment (also known as periodontal therapy) is a dental procedure designed to treat gum disease and restore the health of your gums. Gum disease occurs when plaque and bacteria build up around the teeth and gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and in advanced stages, tooth loss. Early treatment is key to saving your natural teeth and maintaining overall oral health.

Why Gum Treatment Is Important

  • Stops gum bleeding and inflammation
  • Prevents gum recession and tooth loosening
  • Controls bad breath caused by gum infection
  • Preserves jawbone and natural teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum swelling, sensitivity, or loose teeth are warning signs.

No. Most procedures are done under local anesthesia, and modern techniques make them comfortable and minimally invasive.

It depends on the severity. Scaling and root planing may take 1–2 sessions, while advanced cases may need multiple visits.

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled, but it requires ongoing care.

Mild gum recession can improve with treatment, but severely receded gums may require grafting procedures.
