- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, angling toward the gumline
- Floss every day to disrupt plaque and tartar buildup between teeth
- Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash if recommended by your provider
- Avoid tobacco, which significantly accelerates gum disease progression
- Stay consistent with your scheduled dental hygiene and prevention appointments

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a periodontist do?
A periodontist is a gum specialist who focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.
What causes inflammation of gums?
The most common cause is plaque and tartar buildup along the gumline. When left unmanaged, bacteria trigger an immune response that causes gums to become red, swollen, and prone to bleeding. Risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and hormonal changes can make it worse.
What is scaling and root planing?
It is a deep cleaning treatment that removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, in areas a routine cleaning cannot reach. It is performed under local anesthetic and is one of the most effective ways to treat early to moderate gum disease.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the earliest stage, can often be fully reversed with professional treatment and good oral hygiene habits. Once it progresses to periodontitis, the damage can’t be undone but it can be managed effectively to protect your teeth long-term.
How can I prevent tooth loss from gum disease?
Early treatment is the biggest factor. Staying consistent with dental hygiene and prevention, attending regular periodontal visits, and addressing symptoms as soon as they appear all significantly reduce your risk.
