Gingivitis can often be treated through a professional cleaning of the teeth and gums along with a more consistent daily routine. Brushing after every meal and snack, flossing morning and night, and adding an antibacterial mouthwash – sometimes in prescription form – may be all it takes to treat this type of gum disease. Periodontitis will, however, necessitate a more advanced approach.
To treat periodontitis, Dr. Castillo will need to first assess how advanced the disease has become. Depending on the specifics of your infection, periodontal treatment may include therapy to eliminate bacteria, shrink pockets of infection around teeth, and stimulate healthy tissue growth. These benefits become more difficult to achieve the longer periodontitis is allowed to progress. Your best chance for the complete elimination of gum disease is swift treatment.
