Common gum disease treatments include:
Improved oral hygiene at home.
Antibiotics.
Tooth scaling and root planing (deep dental cleaning).
Osseous surgery (to reduce the size of the pockets around your teeth).
Laser periodontal surgery.
If bleeding gums are a result of gum disease, a dentist or periodontist (gum specialist) will recommend the appropriate treatment.
It’s also important to maintain routine dental check-ups so we can identify the early signs of gum disease while they are still easy to address.
Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss your teeth once each day to eliminate food particles and prevent plaque build-up.
One of the best things you can do to prevent swollen, bleeding gums is to develop a consistent oral hygiene routine.
