Gum treatment in brief

Gum treatment is the general name for procedures that clear inflammation in the gums, protect tissue that has been lost and, when needed, correct the shape of the gums. In the early stage, cleaning and proper care are usually enough; in advanced cases, deep cleaning or gum surgery may be needed.

For more information on the causes and stages of gum disease, see our periodontics page. On this page we explain the treatment methods.

When tartar builds up, the gums become inflamed (gingivitis). If untreated, the pockets deepen and the bone that holds the tooth starts to be lost (periodontitis).

Symptoms

Which symptoms call for gum treatment?

An examination is recommended if you have any of the following:

Bleeding gumsGums that bleed when brushing or flossing.

Receding gumsTeeth that look longer, with the root surface exposed.

Swelling and rednessRed, swollen and tender gums.

Bad breathA bad smell or taste that does not go away despite brushing.

Loose teethMovement in the teeth or gaps opening between them.

SensitivitySensitivity to cold because of receding gums.

Methods

Gum treatment methods

Treatment is not the same for every patient. The methods used most often:

Scaling

Removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surface. It is the first treatment for gum inflammation.

Details →

Deep cleaning (curettage)

Cleaning tartar and inflamed tissue from inside the gum pocket under local anesthesia and smoothing the root surfaces.

Flap surgery

In deep pockets, the gum is opened slightly so the roots can be cleaned under direct view.

Gum grafts

Covering receding gums with tissue taken from another area of the mouth.

Gingivectomy

Reshaping excess or overgrown gum tissue.

Details →

Maintenance therapy

Check-ups and cleanings at set intervals after treatment.

Decision

Which method suits whom?

The decision is made at the examination based on pocket depth, bone loss and your complaint. To give a general idea:

ConditionCommon treatment

Bleeding, mild swelling→Scaling and improving home care

Deepened gum pockets→Deep cleaning (curettage)

Pockets that remain despite deep cleaning→Flap surgery

Receding gums→Treating the cause, a gum graft if needed

Excess gum tissue→Gingivectomy

Gum treatment is not a one-off procedure; keeping the result depends on home care and regular check-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about gum treatment

Will bleeding gums stop on their own?

With mild inflammation, bleeding may lessen with proper brushing and flossing. If bleeding continues, there may be tartar or deepened pockets underneath; an examination is recommended.

Do receding gums grow back?

Receded gums do not return to their original position on their own. By treating the cause, further recession can be stopped; in suitable cases the area can be covered with a gum graft.

Is gum treatment painful?

Scaling mostly does not need anesthesia. Deep cleaning and surgical procedures are done under local anesthesia; there may be sensitivity for a few days afterwards.

What is curettage?

Cleaning tartar and inflamed tissue from inside the gum pocket under local anesthesia and smoothing the root surfaces.

How many sessions does gum treatment take?

It depends on the stage of the disease. Cleaning is done in one or a few sessions, followed by a re-assessment 4–6 weeks later.

Can gum disease cause tooth loss?

If untreated, the bone that holds the teeth wears away over time and the teeth can become loose. Early treatment and regular check-ups reduce this risk.
