2. How is gum disease diagnosed?
Gum disease is diagnosed during a dental checkup. Your dentist will examine your gums, measure the pockets around your teeth, and take X-rays to assess the extent of bone loss.
The type of gum disease treatment you receive depends on the severity of your condition. Here are some common options:
- Professional dental cleaning: This involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, including areas below the gum line.
- Scaling and root planing: This deep cleaning procedure removes tartar from the tooth surfaces and smooths the root surfaces, promoting gum reattachment.
- Antibiotics: Oral medications or topical gels may be prescribed to fight remaining bacterial infections in the gum pockets.
- Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased tissue, reshape bone, or regenerate lost bone tissue.

After treatment, your gums may be sore and sensitive. Your dentist will provide specific instructions on managing your pain and discomfort, including:
- Taking pain medication
- Using ice packs
- Eating soft foods
- Rinsing your mouth with salt water

The recovery time from gum disease treatment varies depending on the type of treatment received. Most people recover within a few days, but complete healing may take up to a week or two.
Here are some tips to prevent gum disease:
- Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.

- Use an antibacterial mouthwash.
