Periodontal disease is a serious issue that can dramatically impact the smile in a negative way. It can have permanent effects and should not be a condition that patients take lightly. When dentists diagnose periodontal disease (also referred to as gum disease), patients will want to take immediate action with a dental professional to ensure they tackle the problem early enough for appropriate intervention.
 
When it comes to gum disease, the first line of treatment is often a deep gum cleaning. This is also known as scaling and root planing. This removes bacteria, plaque, and tartar which could be contributing to the issue and can make it worse. In order to control and even reverse the condition, it is important to get all areas as clean as possible. After this, patients may need to use a medication to control the bacterial infection. Most patients who have scaling and root planing procedures done will find that they need to be more proactive in taking care of their smile. The earlier stages of periodontal disease can be addressed with initial treatment and bring the smile back to health.
