From your gum evaluation to a care plan
Bleeding or tender gums are a reason to get checked, but symptoms alone do not tell the whole story. Gum measurements, your health history and X-rays when needed help the dentist understand how the gums and supporting tissues are doing.
Early inflammation may improve with professional cleaning and changes to home care. When gum disease requires treatment below the gumline, scaling and root planing may be recommended. More advanced or persistent problems can need further treatment or a periodontal specialist’s assessment.
Care does not end with the initial treatment. Follow-up visits show how your gums are responding and help guide your next steps. Periodontal maintenance is ongoing care after treatment for periodontitis, rather than another name for the first deep cleaning.
A clear plan explains which areas need treatment, the visits involved, options for comfort and when your gums will be checked again. It also gives you a chance to understand the recommendation before moving forward.
