Gum disease treatment duration can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the disease, the type of treatment used, and the dental patient’s overall oral health. The gum disease treatment process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

• Scaling and root planing:
  This non-surgical treatment involves clearing plaque and tartar from the teeth and smoothing the tooth roots to prevent further buildup. The duration of this treatment can vary depending on the severity of the gum disease, but it usually takes one or two dental appointments lasting 45-60 minutes each.
  
  
• Antibiotics:
  In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to help control the infection and reduce inflammation. The duration of antibiotic treatment varies depending on the type of antibiotic prescribed, but it usually lasts 7-14 days.
  
  
• Surgery:
  If gum disease is in its advanced stage, oral surgery may be necessary to remove the infected tissue and restore the gum and bone tissue. The surgery duration depends on the surgery’s extent and the number of teeth involved, but this invasive procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily.
• Avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks.
• Quit smoking and avoid other forms of tobacco.
• Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
• Keep regular appointments with your dentist for check-ups and cleanings.
• Use a mouthwash to help kill harmful bacteria.

• Brush twice a day:
  Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is essential for removing plaque and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth, helping to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
  
  
• Floss daily:
  Flossing helps eliminate food particles and plaque between the teeth and below the gum line to help prevent gum disease from recurring.
  
  
• Use an antibacterial mouthwash:
  An antibacterial mouthwash can help reduce the bacteria that cause gum disease.
  
  
• Visit the dentist regularly:
  Regular check-ups and professional cleanings with your dentist can help to detect any signs of and prevent recurrence of gum disease.
  
  
• Avoid sugary foods:
  Eating sugary and starchy foods can increase the risk of gum disease, as they provide food for bacteria. Staying away from them is highly recommended.
  
  
• Quit smoking:
  Smoking can weaken the body’s natural defences against gum disease, making it more likely to recur.

Gum disease treatment can vary in cost depending on the severity of the disease and what type of treatment is necessary. For example, a comprehensive dental cleaning for early stages of gum disease at Karrinyup Dental Centre is priced at \$300. This includes the removal of calculus (tartar), plaque, and stains, measures to reduce tooth sensitivity, and dental radiographs if necessary. On the other hand, oral surgery for more advanced stages may cost more.
