Gum Disease Treatment
Over time plaque hardens into a hard substance known as calculus (tartar). This irritates the gums and causes bleeding gums and bone loss. The treatment is to clean and wash the bacteria away.

The cost of gum treatment relates to the severity which will be explained to you by the dentist.
