Gum treatment
Deep scaling and root planing to bring gum disease under control.
When to consult
- If your gums bleed when brushing
- If you notice recession or mobility
- If you have persistent bad breath
- For periodontal follow-up after treatment
How it works
- Complete periodontal probing (measurements at 6 sites per tooth)
- Radiographs to evaluate bone support
- Scaling and root planing
- Specific hygiene advice
- Scheduled follow-ups based on severity
Options
- Deep scaling (by quadrant or by sextant)
- Root planing
- Treatment of recessions
- Periodontal maintenance
Limits
Advanced periodontal disease can lead to irreversible loss of support. Treatment aims to stabilize and preserve, not to rebuild lost bone without specialized surgery.
After treatment
Gum and thermal sensitivity is possible for a few days. Meticulous hygiene is essential for stabilization.
Frequently asked questions
Is deep scaling painful?
Performed under local anesthesia when necessary, the treatment is comfortable.
Will my gums grow back?
Not spontaneously. Some cases may benefit from grafts, evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
How long before I see an improvement?
Inflammation generally decreases within 4 to 8 weeks after the initial treatment, with adequate hygiene.
