There are many patient-specific variables involved in treating gum disease. Much depends upon the stage of infection and the amount of deterioration involving your gums, teeth, supporting tissues, and bone.
After reviewing your X-rays and performing a thorough periodontal exam, your periodontist will discuss non-surgical or surgical treatment options with you (including pocket reduction and bone regeneration), answer your questions, and explain what to expect:
🦷 During and after the procedure(s)
🦷 The number of office visits required for treatment
🦷 What to do at home as your gums heal
🦷 How to keep periodontal disease under control after treatment is complete

“Until recently, a person’s family doctor or pediatrician recommended that our children see a dentist by age three. Now we have new recommendations - when your child’s first tooth appears or no later than your child’s first birthday, they should see the dentist; basically, age one at the latest.” Check out our #blog “5 Tips for Healthy Little Smiles from a Pediatric Dentist” for more: https://bddy.me/2LnMMPl
