What is Gum Disease Treatment?
Gum disease (periodontitis) is a serious infection that damages the gums and bone supporting your teeth — and it's linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. In its early stage (gingivitis), it's easily reversible. Advanced cases require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) or surgical intervention. Treating gum disease in Costa Rica means world-class periodontal care at a fraction of US prices.
