If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, there are a variety of treatment options depending on the details of your situation and the severity of the problem. We always start with the least invasive options, which are non-surgical. However, in more serious cases, surgery may be necessary. Non-surgical treatment includes scaling and root planing. In order to keep your teeth in good shape and resist future occurrences of gum disease, you must brush and floss daily and have regular dental checkups. Surgical treatment options include pocket depth reduction or flap surgery, regeneration procedures, soft tissue graft etc.
