Gum Disease Treatment

Gum Disease Treatment Twickenham

Gum disease treatment focuses on controlling infection and restoring the health of your gums. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by plaque and bacteria buildup that leads to inflammation, bleeding, and if untreated, can damage the supporting structures of the teeth. Early treatment is important to prevent progression and protect your natural teeth.

Treatment may involve deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. In more advanced cases, additional therapies or surgical options may be required. Alongside professional care, patients are guided on improving daily oral hygiene to maintain healthy gums and prevent recurrence.
