"Quality Dentistry With A Gentle Touch"

Treatment of Gum Disease

    The type of treatment required depends upon the stage of the disease. Individualized treatment may include any of the following:

    Scaling and root planing. Scaling is removing the calculus deposits from your teeth; root planing is the smoothing of the root surfaces so that the gum tissue can reattach to the tooth.

• Curettage removes the soft tissue lining the periodontal pocket. This helps the gum tissue to heal.
• Gingivectomy is surgical removal of the periodontal pockets when the disease does not involve the jaw bone.
• Flap surgery allows us to gain access to the root of the tooth for removal of calculus, plaque and diseased tissue. The gum is then secured back into place. Flap surgery is sometimes accompanied by osseous (bone) surgery, in which the bone around the tooth is reshaped or part of it is removed.
• More than half of all adults aged 35 and over have the early stages of this disease. Three out of four adults are eventually affected by it. Periodontal disease is the primary cause of lost teeth after age 35. But the good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent periodontal disease in your mouth. If caught in its early stages, gum disease can be reversed.

A Final Word...

You need not lose your teeth to gum disease.

• Thoroughly brush and floss
• Eat well-balanced meals
• Examine your mouth
• Visit us at least twice a year
