Gum disease treatment for teeth focuses on stopping infection, preserving teeth, and restoring gum and bone health. The approach depends on how advanced the gum disease is—either gingivitis (mild) or periodontitis (moderate to severe).
1. Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease)
This stage affects only the gums but not the supporting bone or teeth yet.
Treatment:
Professional Dental Cleaning: Removes plaque and tartar near the gumline.
Brushing & Flossing: Twice-daily brushing and daily flossing.
Antibacterial Mouthwash: Reduces bacteria and inflammation.
Lifestyle Changes: Quit smoking, manage diabetes, improve diet.
With proper care, gingivitis is reversible.
2. Periodontitis (Advanced Gum Disease)
At this stage, bone and tooth-supporting structures are damaged. Teeth may loosen or shift.
Non-Surgical Treatment:
Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning under the gumline to remove bacteria and smooth root surfaces.
Antibiotics: Topical or oral antibiotics to kill bacteria in deep gum pockets.
Surgical Treatment (for severe cases):
Flap Surgery: Gums are lifted to clean deep pockets and reduce pocket depth.
Bone Graft: Replaces lost bone around teeth using natural or synthetic bone.
Gum Graft: Covers exposed roots and thickens gum tissue.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR): Encourages bone and ligament regrowth.
Laser Therapy: Less invasive option for removing infected tissue and bacteria.
Ongoing Maintenance (to protect your teeth)
Dental checkups every 3–4 months.
Proper at-home oral hygiene.
Possibly using prescription-strength toothpaste or rinses.
