Frequently asked questions
Periodontics — Common Questions
What is periodontal disease and how is it treated?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a bacterial infection that destroys the tissue and bone supporting teeth. Mild cases (gingivitis) are treated with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced cases require scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), and sometimes surgical intervention.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums; persistent bad breath; gum recession; loose teeth; and pain when chewing. Gum disease is often painless in early stages, making regular dental checkups critical for early detection.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis — the earliest stage — is fully reversible with professional cleaning and consistent home care. More advanced periodontitis causes permanent bone loss that cannot be reversed, only managed and stabilized.
How often should I see a periodontist if I have gum disease?
Patients with a history of periodontal disease typically need maintenance visits every 3–4 months rather than the standard 6-month interval. This prevents recurrence and monitors stability over time.
