Learn about periodontal care for gum disease and gum recession, with recommendations based on an examination.
Periodontology focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases of the gums and supporting bone, including gingivitis, periodontitis, gum recession, and bone tissue regeneration.
Periodontal care is planned around the diagnosis and aims to manage gum disease and support oral health. Recommended treatment and outcomes vary by case.
Gum disease can affect the tissues that support teeth. Assessment helps identify the condition and discuss suitable care.
Non-surgical periodontal care may include professional cleaning above and below the gumline. Additional measures depend on the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Surgical periodontal treatment may be considered for some conditions. The procedure and expected outcome depend on an individual assessment.
Red, swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession and loose teeth can all indicate gum disease. Early stages are often painless, so regular check-ups are important.
Gingivitis may improve with appropriate professional care and home hygiene. Periodontitis may be managed with treatment and ongoing maintenance; results vary by case.
Sensitivity or discomfort may occur during or after periodontal treatment. Anesthesia and aftercare depend on the procedure and individual needs.
Gums and supporting bone help hold teeth in place. Periodontal assessment can help identify changes and guide care.
