Periodontal disease or advanced gum disease is unfortunately quite common and is caused by bacteria infecting the gums. Gum disease treatment focuses on reducing bacterial numbers so the gum tissues have a chance to heal and recover more easily. Conventional treatment will often use a scalpel to cut away badly damaged gum tissues, a procedure that is necessary but which can cause quite a bit of discomfort. A more modern approach is to use dental laser therapy.
