Gum Disease Treatment in Rome, NY | Rome Dental
Treat gum disease before it damages your teeth and bone.
Catch It Early, Keep Your Teeth
Here's the frustrating thing about gum disease: by the time you notice something's wrong, it's often been brewing for a while.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) usually causes no pain. But left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis — where the infection starts destroying the bone that holds your teeth in place.
Once bone is gone, it doesn't grow back on its own.
The good news: gum disease is treatable at any stage. Early on, it's often reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care.
What Is A Deep Cleaning?
A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes further below the gumline to remove tartar and bacteria from the pockets that have formed between teeth and gums.
How Much Does Gum Disease Treatment Cost?
Deep cleaning: $200-$400 per quadrant.
Most patients need 2-4 quadrants treated. Most dental insurance covers periodontal treatment. Our membership plan provides 15% off.
How Do I Know If I Have Gum Disease?
Early gum disease often has no pain, which is why it sneaks up on people. Warning signs include: gums that bleed when you brush or floss, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from your teeth, or teeth that feel loose. If you notice any of these, come in — early treatment makes a big difference.
Does Deep Cleaning Hurt?
We numb the areas we're working on, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. You may have some soreness and sensitivity for a few days after. Most patients say it's much easier than they expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It starts as gingivitis — red, swollen gums that may bleed when you brush. Left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, where the infection destroys the bone supporting your teeth. Advanced gum disease can cause tooth loss. The good news: gum disease is treatable at any stage, and early-stage gingivitis is often reversible.How do I know if I have gum disease?
Gum disease often has no pain in the early stages, which is why it sneaks up on people. Warning signs include gums that bleed when you brush or floss, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from your teeth, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment — early treatment makes a big difference.Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. Once it progresses to periodontitis and bone loss occurs, the damage cannot be fully reversed — but it can be stopped and managed with proper treatment. That's why catching gum disease early matters so much. Regular checkups allow us to spot problems before they become permanent.What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is caused by plaque — a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. When plaque isn't removed through brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which irritates your gums and leads to infection. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, genetics, and poor oral hygiene. Even people who brush regularly can develop gum disease if they skip flossing or miss dental check
