Gum (Periodontal) Disease
Treatments
Controlling the
Infection
The main goal of treatment is to control the infection. The number
and types of treatment will vary, depending on how far the disease
has advanced. Any type of treatment requires the patient to keep up
good daily care at home. The doctor may also suggest changing
certain behaviors, such as quitting smoking, as a way to improve
treatment outcome.
Treatments may include deep cleaning, medications, surgery, and
bone and tissue grafts.
