Looking for gum disease treatment in Oklahoma City that’s comprehensive, respectful, and personalized? At Downtown Dental OKC, we take periodontal care seriously—but never make it feel scary or rushed.

What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease—also called periodontal disease—is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It often begins silently, with symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or slight recession. If left untreated, it can lead to gum loss, bone damage, and eventually tooth loss.
At Downtown Dental, we approach gum disease with the same intentionality and precision as everything else we do. Our hygiene team is highly trained in identifying, treating, and managing periodontal conditions early so that we can protect your oral and overall health with minimal intervention and maximum clarity.
How Does Gum Disease Treatment Work?
Your journey begins with a comprehensive periodontal assessment, including digital x-rays and gentle probing to measure pocket depth around the teeth. If gum disease is present, we’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan that may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria beneath the gumline. Other minimally invasive methods to support healing may include: ultrasonic therapy as part of the deep cleaning protocol, irrigation with antibacterial rinse to target active infection and inflammation, or laser for bacteria reduction and healing. We also provide ongoing periodontal maintenance with more frequent cleanings to prevent recurrence. We’ll provide guidance for at-home care to give you on simple, powerful ways to care for your gums daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved home care. Advanced stages (periodontitis) require deeper treatment to manage—but we can prevent further damage and help restore health.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
Not at Downtown Dental. We use gentle techniques, topical numbing, and ultrasonic tools to make your deep cleaning as comfortable as possible.
How often do I need cleanings after gum disease?
Patients with a history of gum disease typically benefit from cleanings every 3–4 months, known as periodontal maintenance, to keep bacteria under control and monitor healing.
