Periodontal treatment begins with a consultation and examination. For patients with mild to moderate gum disease, we will typically recommend regular deep cleanings, known as scaling and root planings, as well as better oral hygiene at home. This could mean more frequent trips into the dental office as well as upgrading some of the products you’re using to clean your teeth and gums at home. For more advanced gum disease, we may recommend surgery to remove the diseased tissue. Other treatment options are available, and we can discuss these with you during your consultation.
