Periodontics Treatment Process
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
Treatment usually begins with a detailed assessment of your gum health, including measurements of pocket depth around the teeth and X-rays to evaluate bone levels. In the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis), professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene may be enough to restore gum health.
For more advanced cases (periodontitis), a deeper cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing may be required. This removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line and smooths the roots of the teeth to encourage healing. You may also receive guidance on brushing and flossing techniques, and in some cases, antimicrobial treatments.
In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary to reduce pocket depths, regenerate lost bone, or reshape the gum line. Following treatment, ongoing maintenance is crucial. Regular periodontal reviews and cleaning help to prevent recurrence and maintain long-term gum health.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Your periodontal treatment begins with a comprehensive examination by your dentist or periodontist. This may include checking your gums for signs of inflammation, measuring the depth of gum pockets, and taking X-rays to assess bone levels around the teeth. Based on the findings, a personalised treatment plan will be created to address your gum health.
Non-Surgical Treatment
The first line of treatment typically involves a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. This involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing the tooth roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. You may be given oral hygiene advice and prescribed antimicrobial rinses to support healing.
Review and Maintenance or Further Treatment
After a healing period, your gums will be reassessed. If the condition has improved, you’ll be placed on a maintenance programme with regular periodontal cleaning and monitoring. If deeper pockets or persistent issues remain, further treatment may be recommended. This could include advanced procedures such as flap surgery, bone grafting, or laser therapy to restore gum and bone health.

Benefits of periodontics
Prevents Tooth Loss
By treating gum disease early and effectively, periodontic care helps preserve the structures that support your teeth, reducing the risk of tooth loss.
Improves Gum Health
Periodontal treatment removes harmful plaque and tartar build-up, reducing inflammation and infection in the gums, and promoting healthier tissue.
Enhances Overall Oral Health
Healthy gums contribute to a healthier mouth. Periodontics can help prevent further complications such as bad breath, gum recession, and bone loss.
Supports General Health
Research has linked gum disease to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Treating periodontal issues may help reduce the risk of these associated health problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs I might need periodontal treatment?
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and sensitivity. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek advice from your dentist.
What does periodontal treatment involve?
Treatment often starts with a thorough cleaning called scaling and root planing, which removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. In more advanced cases, surgical procedures may be needed to restore gum and bone health. You will also receive tailored oral hygiene advice to help manage the condition at home.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
This depends on the severity of your condition. Mild cases may be treated in one or two visits, while more complex cases may require ongoing care over several months, followed by maintenance appointments.
Will I need ongoing care after treatment?
Yes. Gum disease can return if not properly managed, so regular maintenance visits and good oral hygiene at home are essential to keep your gums healthy in the long term.
