Your dentist will confirm the exact cost for your case at your consultation.
Caring for Your Gums at Home
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss to clean between your teeth, where a brush cannot reach. Keep an eye out for redness, swelling, or bleeding, and let your dentist know if you notice any of these. Regular check-ups, generally every three to six months, help keep gum disease from progressing or returning.
Choosing Between Treatment Options
Which treatment is right for you depends mainly on how far your gum disease has progressed. Early gingivitis often responds well to scaling and root planing alone, while more advanced periodontitis may need surgical treatment to address deeper pockets or bone loss. Your dentist will explain which stage you are at and why a particular treatment is being recommended.
