“What is the treatment for periodontitis?”

The treatment for periodontitis is usually determined by your practitioner based on the degree of the disease. The initial treatment is the patient's acceptance and understanding of their role in the treatment which most frequently involves a significant improvement and frequency of one's daily home care. Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) are frequently involved in the initial treatment of the disease; however, your dentist will determine the initial course of treatment.
