Filed Under (Gum Disease (Gingivitis)) by Tony Stai on 05-28-2009

After researching it online, I have concluded that I have some type of gum disease. I’m still waiting to go to the dentist. If some of my adult teeth are slightly loose, do you think the scaling and root planning will do the trick? Or will I need something more serious like the surgery?

Please dont take any antibiotics on your own…..THESE ARE OF LITTLE HELP when long-term results are considered. These might suppress your symptoms for a while but are not worth it until unless prescribed by a qualified dentist.
Gum diseases are very easy to manage in the early stages. Most of times, Scaling is just required and sometimes root planing also. Sometimes we tell the patient at the beginning of the treatment that gum surgery will be required. But when we go along ….we find that just after scaling and root planing …..supported by patient's home oral care regime….the gums are returning to their normal health.

Secondly, about your mobile teeth…..the degree of this mobility can only be found out by a thorough dental examination and also with the help of a x-ray.
