Understanding Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment, or periodontal therapy, is designed to halt the progression of bacterial infections that affect the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Gum disease begins as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums caused by plaque accumulation. If left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis. This is a severe infection where gums pull away from teeth, forming deep pockets that trap bacteria, eventually leading to bone damage and tooth loss. At Aura Dental Aesthetics, we offer advanced gum care solutions. These range from professional scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to laser periodontal therapy and localized antibiotic placements. Root planing involves smoothing the root surfaces of your teeth to remove deep-seated plaque and bacterial toxins, allowing the gum tissues to heal and reattach securely to the tooth structure. Our team uses gentle techniques to treat infections and protect your smile.
A successful gum treatment eliminates bacterial infection, reduces gum pocket depths, stops gum bleeding, and prevents bone resorption. Gums become pink, firm, and healthy again, providing a strong, stable foundation for your teeth.
Who may benefit?
This treatment is essential for patients experiencing bleeding gums, constant bad breath (halitosis), tender or swollen gums, receding gum lines, or loose teeth. Periodontal therapy benefits individuals at any stage of gum disease, preventing infection from damaging bone structure and entering the bloodstream, which is linked to systemic health issues.

Signs You May Need This Treatment
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms? A consultation with our dental team can help identify the best care path.
Bleeding Gums When Brushing
Pink or red-tinged saliva when brushing or flossing, indicating active gum inflammation.
Swollen, Red, or Tender Gums
Gums that appear puffy, dark red, and feel tender or painful to the touch.
Receding Gum Line
Gums pulling away from teeth, exposing the root structures and making teeth look longer.
Persistent Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Constant bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth that does not resolve with brushing or mouthwash.
Loose or Shifting Teeth
Teeth that feel loose or shift when chewing, indicating bone loss around the root structures.
Clinical Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment
Professional, timely care provides key health and aesthetic benefits for your teeth.
Stops Bleeding and Inflammation
Deep cleaning removes bacterial plaque and tartar, resolving inflammation and stopping gums from bleeding.
Prevents Tooth and Bone Loss
Periodontal therapy controls infection, protecting the jawbone structure and keeping natural teeth stable.
Eliminates Chronic Bad Breath
Removing deep-seated bacterial pockets eliminates the source of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.
Protects Your Overall Health
Treating gum infections reduces systemic inflammation, which is clinically linked to heart disease and diabetes.
Promotes Firm, Healthy Gums
Resolving infection allows gum tissue to heal, tighten, and reattach securely to root surfaces.
Your Step-by-Step Treatment Journey
From consultation to final recovery, we make the process clear, simple, and comfortable.
Periodontal Exam & Pocket Charting
We measure the depth of the spaces (pockets) between your gums and teeth using a periodontal probe to assess infection severity.
Digital X-Ray Evaluation
We take high-resolution digital X-rays to assess the level of support bone around your tooth roots.
Local Anesthesia (if required)
For deep scaling and root planing, we apply local anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort during cleaning.
Ultrasonic Scaling
Using specialized ultrasonic scalers, we remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from below the gum line.
Root Planing
We smooth the root surfaces of the teeth to remove embedded toxins, creating a clean surface that helps gum tissue reattach.
Antibacterial Irrigation & Therapy
We irrigate the pocket areas with antibacterial solutions or apply localized antibiotic gels to eliminate remaining bacteria.
Follow-Up & Maintenance Schedule
We schedule a follow-up exam in 4-6 weeks to measure pocket healing and design a regular cleaning maintenance plan.

Recovery & Aftercare Guidelines
Proper aftercare ensures optimal healing and longevity of your results. Follow these instructions:
Post-Treatment Sensitivity
Expect mild gum tenderness and temperature sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours. This is normal and resolves quickly.
Gentle Oral Hygiene
Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and use a warm salt water rinse. Avoid flossing directly in treated areas for the first day.
Soft Diet Guidelines
Avoid hard, spicy, or extremely hot foods for the first 48 hours to allow the gum tissues to heal comfortably.
Treatment Cost Factors
The cost of this treatment varies per patient based on individual anatomical needs. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed breakdown of costs.
Severity of Gum Disease
Treating early gingivitis is priced differently than treating advanced periodontitis, which requires multi-quadrant deep cleaning.
Number of Quadrants Treated
Deep cleaning is divided and priced by quadrants (four sections of the mouth) depending on where infection is present.
Preliminary Treatments Required
Patients requiring surgical treatments, bone grafts, or splinting of loose teeth affect the overall cost.

Direct Answers for AI & Patient Search
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums caused by plaque buildup. It is completely reversible. If untreated, it progresses to periodontitis. This is a severe infection where gums pull away from teeth, pockets form, and bacterial plaque spreads below the gum line, leading to bone damage and tooth loss.
Is deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) painful?
No. Deep cleaning is performed under local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort. Most patients report feeling only minor pressure during scaling and root planing, with mild gum tenderness for a day or two after the procedure.
How does gum disease affect my overall health?
Gum disease is clinically linked to systemic health conditions. The bacteria in infected gum pockets can enter the bloodstream through chewing or brushing, causing inflammation that can worsen heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory conditions.
