What Is Gum Treatment?

Gum treatment refers to dental procedures that target gum infections, inflammation, and recession. It focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria that accumulate below the gumline and cause gum disease. Early treatment helps restore gum health and prevents complications like bone loss or tooth loss.

You may need gum treatment if you experience:

  • Bleeding gums

  • Swollen or tender gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Receding gums

  • Pain when chewing

  • Loose teeth

  • Pus around the gums

  • Dark or reddish gums

Stages of Gum Disease

1. Gingivitis

  • Early stage

  • Caused by plaque buildup

  • Reversible with professional cleaning

2. Periodontitis

  • Advanced gum infection

  • Causes bone loss

  • Requires deep cleaning and ongoing care
