I think I have Periodontist gun disease?

Question

I'm 15 year old and already loss 2 tooth. I am wondering how does dentists cure Periodontist gum disease? Will they need to cut off all the gum and teeth and replace it?

Answer 1

Going to the dentist and getting a deep cleaning will get rid of periodontal disease, he may need to get several of them to completely get rid of it. They will have to clean deeper into the gums, where dental pockets have formed to get rid of the bacteria. They won't be cutting off gums or teeth.

After that your son needs to have good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing to prevent periodontal disease from forming again.
