Gum Disease Treatment in Muskogee, OK
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or periodontitis, is an infection of the gums and the bones that support your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and negatively impact your overall oral health. Early intervention is essential to halt the progression of the disease and preserve the health of your teeth and gums.
At Muskogee Dental and Implants, our gum disease treatment focuses on eliminating infection and restoring gum health. One of the most effective methods we use is scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing. Combined with a strong at-home oral hygiene routine, this treatment helps prevent further damage and supports long-term gum health.

What are the symptoms of gum disease?

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult your dentist for early treatment.

Can gum disease be reversed?
Gum disease can be reversed in its early stage, known as gingivitis, through proper oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings and professional care. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, it cannot be fully reversed but can be managed with treatments such as scaling and root planing to prevent further damage and maintain gum health.
