Fight Gum Disease With These 6 Treatments

Dental Cleaning

A professional dental cleaning can do wonders when it comes to gum disease.

During your visit, your dentist will clean away the existing tartar and plaque on your teeth and below the gum line.

In some cases, your dentist may recommend that you receive a cleaning more than the standard once-per-year basis.

Deep Cleaning

In some cases, your dentist may recommend that you receive a deep teeth cleaning which included scaling and root planning.

During this process, a local anesthetic is applied and your dentist will scrape away the plaque and tarter located above and below your gum line.

This is usually done for patients who have a significant amount of plaque and tartar below the gum line.

Bone Grafts

Bone grafting Maryland is a surgical procedure where fragments of bone (your own, synthetic or donated) are used to replace segments of your bone which have deteriorated due to gum disease.

This method encourages regrowth of new bone, thus restoring your teeth.

Flap Surgery

During this surgical procedure, your gums are lifted away from your teeth in order to most effectively remove any tartar buildup.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are often used both on their own, and in conjunction with cleanings and surgeries in order to address gum disease.

Toothpaste

Your dentist will likely suggest that you switch to a recommended toothpaste brand which can reduce plaque and gingivitis.
