How is gum disease treated?
Gum disease treatment at Willow Family Dentistry in Wylie, TX depends on the severity. Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced periodontitis may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria below the gumline and promote healing.
