The repercussions of advanced periodontitis can mean deterioration of the jawbone structure and ultimate tooth loss. But gum disease is a slow mover so there may be time to stop it in its tracks - IF it’s diagnosed at an early stage. A scraping and root planing procedure will work to remove the bacterial plaque from under the gum line as well as on the surfaces of your teeth. The treatment will be followed up with a few extra teeth cleanings and more frequent checkups.
