FAQs

GUM DISEASE TREATMENT
Frequently asked questions about gum disease treatment and periodontal care.
Can gum disease be reversed?
The early stage of gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with professional cleanings and good home care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) cannot be fully reversed, but it can be treated and controlled to prevent further damage.

Gingivitis is early, mild gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup and is reversible. Periodontitis is the advanced stage, where the gums pull away from the teeth and bone loss can occur. It requires deeper, ongoing periodontal treatment.

Most patients with gum disease need a periodontal cleaning every 3–4 months to maintain gum health and prevent progression. Your dentist or hygienist will recommend the best schedule for you.
