People usually don’t show signs of gum disease until they are 30 or 40. Men are more likely to have gum disease rather than women. Although teenagers rarely develop periodontitis, they can develop gingivitis, the milder form of gum disease.
The main goal of treatment is to control the infection. The number and types of treatment will vary, depending on the present condition of the gum disease.
Medications may be used with treatment that includes scaling and root planning, but they cannot always take the place of surgery. Depending on how far the disease has progressed, the dentist may still suggest surgical treatment. The doctor may also suggest changing certain behaviors, such as quitting smoking, as it is a way to improve the outcome of treatment.
