A gum infection, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by bacteria that accumulate in the gums and can lead to inflammation, redness, pain and bleeding. Treatment for gum infection depends on the severity of the infection. Typically, treatment involves scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning procedure used to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. In more severe cases, a surgical procedure may be needed to remove the infected tissue and bone. In addition to professional treatment, good oral hygiene at home is essential for preventing gum infection. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and using an anti-plaque rinse.
