Gum Treatment

Gum diseases are more common than you think, and they can even lead to teeth loss if not treated on time. Periodontal diseases are treated in different ways depending on several factors, like the stage of the disease you are in, earlier treatments, and overall health. Our dentist in Plantation, FL, will thoroughly evaluate your gums before deciding if you need a surgical or non-surgical gum disease treatment. The surgical procedure restores the gum tissue surrounding your teeth, whereas the non-surgical procedure helps to control bacterial growth.

Your dentist can perform both procedures in our state-of-the-art dental office in Plantation, FL. The time needed for the procedure, the time needed for healing, and the degree of discomfort post-treatment depend on the type of gum treatment you are undergoing. You will be given a local anesthetic before the treatment starts, so you will not feel any pain during the process.

What are the different types of gum treatment?

  • Teeth cleaning– A typical teeth cleaning procedure includes removing plaque and tartar build-up from the surface of your teeth. It also helps to remove them from below your gumlines. Depending on the condition of your teeth, your dentist might suggest getting dental cleaning twice a year.
  • Deep cleaning– Herein, the plaque and hardened tartar is removed from below your gumlines and also your gum pockets. Once the bacteria and calculus are scraped off, the gum is reattached to your tooth surface with the help of the root planing procedure.
  • Bone Graft– This is a surgical procedure wherein your jawbone is replaced, and it is helped to regrow if the area is destroyed due to periodontal disease. This helps the teeth to attach securely to the bone.
