Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a prevalent condition affecting the gums and surrounding tissues supporting the teeth. Treatment for periodontal disease typically involves a multi-faceted approach aimed at controlling the infection, reducing inflammation, and restoring gum health. Initially, non-surgical methods such as scaling and root planing are employed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the gumline and tooth roots, reducing bacterial colonies and promoting healing. In more advanced cases or when non-surgical methods are insufficient, surgical interventions like flap surgery, bone grafts, or guided tissue regeneration may be necessary to repair damaged tissues and restore proper gum attachment to the teeth. Additionally, adjunctive therapies such as antibiotics or antimicrobial mouth rinses may be prescribed to aid in controlling bacterial growth and promoting healing. Regular dental visits for professional cleanings and diligent oral hygiene practices at home, including brushing, flossing, and using antibacterial mouth rinses, are crucial components of long-term management to prevent recurrence of periodontal disease and maintain gum health.
