At Absolute Dental, we offer a range of gum treatments to address various stages of gum disease and maintain optimal gum health. Our expert team will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.

1. Scaling and Root Planing:
   Scaling and root planing are the first line of treatment for gum disease. Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the roots of the teeth to help prevent bacteria from adhering to the surface and promote healing. This non-surgical procedure is highly effective in treating gingivitis and early stages of periodontitis.
2. Antibiotic Treatment:
   For more advanced gum disease, your dentist may recommend antibiotic treatments to help control infection. These can be applied topically to the gums or taken orally to help reduce inflammation and bacterial growth, facilitating healing.
3. Laser Gum Treatment:
   Laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with moderate to severe gum disease. The laser targets infected tissue, removing bacteria and promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue. Laser gum treatment is often preferred due to its precision, reduced discomfort, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional methods.
4. Gum Grafting:
   In cases of severe gum recession, gum grafting may be necessary to restore lost gum tissue. During this procedure, tissue is taken from another part of your mouth (or synthetic graft material is used) to cover areas where the gums have receded. This not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also helps protect the roots of your teeth.
5. Pocket Reduction Surgery:
   For advanced periodontitis, when pockets form between the gums and teeth due to severe infection, pocket reduction surgery may be required. This surgery involves lifting the gums to clean the deeper areas of the tooth roots, removing infected tissue, and then repositioning the gums to fit snugly around the teeth.
