Gum Disease Treatment Noblesville
Taking care of your gums is an essential part of your oral hygiene. Gum care starts at home, with a daily hygiene routine that includes flossing to clean below the gum line. Your dentist and hygienist will monitor the health of your gums and can recommend the best gum disease treatment options if they detect signs of inflammation or periodontal (gum) disease.
What is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?
Gum disease is a progressive disease that breaks down the gum tissue and bone surrounding your teeth. It is caused by bacteria in plaque and dental calculus. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and contribute to other systemic health problems, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
According to the CDC, nearly half of adults aged 30 and older show signs of gum disease. The good news is gum disease is preventable and can be reversed if it’s caught early enough.
If it’s been more than 6 months since your last professional cleaning, request an appointment today!

Early Signs of Gum Disease (Gingivitis)
Signs of early gum disease, or gingivitis, include red, swollen gums. Your gums may also be tender or bleeding. It’s important to note that gum disease is often a silent disease – many people don’t notice any symptoms until it’s in its more advanced stages.
Symptoms of periodontal (gum) disease:
- Red, swollen or sore gums
- Receding gums
- Bad breath
- Pain when chewing
- Loose or sensitive teeth
You can treat gingivitis at home by eating a healthy diet, brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily. This will help reduce harmful bacteria in your mouth and give your gums a chance to recover.
Although you can brush away plaque, calculus (hardened plaque) can only be removed by your dental hygienist. Be sure to keep up with regular professional dental cleanings to keep hard-to-reach areas free of bacteria. Most people should get their teeth professionally cleaned at least every six months. Your hygienist may recommend more frequent cleanings depending on the condition of your teeth and gums.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
Common symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose or sensitive teeth.
How is gum disease diagnosed?
Gum disease is diagnosed through a dental examination, which includes checking your gums for signs of inflammation, measuring the depth of pockets around your teeth, and taking dental X-rays to assess bone loss.
Is gum disease reversible?
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional treatment. However, periodontitis, the advanced stage, can only be managed to prevent further damage.
What treatments are available for gum disease?
Treatments for gum disease include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotics, and surgical procedures such as flap surgery, bone grafts, and tissue grafts.
