Gum disease &mdash; also known as periodontal disease &mdash; begins when bacteria in plaque irritate and inflame your gum tissue. In its early stage (gingivitis), the damage is reversible. But when left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, where bacteria spread below the gumline and destroy the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place.<\/p>\n    <p>Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss, and research has linked it to serious health conditions including heart disease and diabetes. The good news is that gum disease is treatable at every stage. At myDental, we use advanced techniques including laser therapy and bone regeneration to stop the disease, restore your gum health, and protect your smile for the long term.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"mdlp-key-points\">\n      <div class=\"mdlp-key-point\">\n        <svg width=\"80\" height=\"80\" viewBox=\"0 0 56 56\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M28 10c-5 0-8 3-8 7v12c0 4 3 7 8 7s8-3 8-7V17c0-4-3-7-8-7z\" fill=\"#063653\"\/><path d=\"M24 36l-2 10M32 36l2 10\" stroke=\"#063653\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M10 22c4-2 8 0 12 0s8-2 12 0 8 0 12 0\" stroke=\"#F05123\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" fill=\"none\"\/><path d=\"M10 28c4-2 8 0 12 0s8-2 12 0 8 0 12 0\" stroke=\"#F05123\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" fill=\"none\" opacity=\"0.4\"\/><\/svg>\n        <strong>Gum Health<\/strong>\n        <p>Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile.

Gum disease can progress without obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are essential for early detection.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mdlp-faq-item\">\n        <button class=\"mdlp-faq-question\">What are the stages of gum disease?<\/button>\n        <div class=\"mdlp-faq-answer\">\n          <p>Gum disease progresses through two main stages. <strong>Gingivitis<\/strong> is the early stage, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. It is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. <strong>Periodontitis<\/strong> is the advanced stage, where bacteria spread below the gumline and destroy the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place. Without treatment, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss. The earlier gum disease is caught, the simpler and more effective treatment will be.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mdlp-faq-item\">\n        <button class=\"mdlp-faq-question\">Is scaling and root planing painful?<\/button>\n        <div class=\"mdlp-faq-answer\">\n          <p>Scaling and root planing is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. You may experience mild soreness and sensitivity for a few days afterward, which is typically managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients describe the procedure as more comfortable than they expected. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydental.com\/services\/sedation\/\" style=\"color:var(--md-orange);\">Sedation options<\/a> are also available if you feel anxious.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mdlp-faq-item\">\n        <button class=\"mdlp-faq-question\">How much does gum disease treatment cost?<\/button>\n        <div class=\"mdlp-faq-answer\">\n          <p>The cost depends on the severity of your gum disease and the type of treatment needed. Scaling and root planing is less expensive than surgical procedures like gum grafting or bone regeneration. During your consultation, we provide a transparent treatment plan with all costs outlined upfront.

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss every day, and visit your dentist every six months for professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydental.com\/services\/preventive-dentistry\/\" style=\"color:var(--md-orange);\">cleanings and exams<\/a>. Avoiding tobacco, managing diabetes, and eating a balanced diet also reduce your risk.

Scaling and root planing is typically completed in one to two visits. After treatment, a healing period of four to six weeks is common before a follow-up evaluation. Surgical procedures like gum grafting require additional healing time. Once gum disease is under control, periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months help prevent recurrence.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mdlp-faq-item\">\n        <button class=\"mdlp-faq-question\">Where can I get periodontal treatment at myDental?<\/button>\n        <div class=\"mdlp-faq-answer\">\n          <p>myDental offers periodontal care at multiple convenient Texas locations.
