Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease that can destroy the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. Treatment involves deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria, antibiotics to eliminate infection, and in some cases, surgical intervention. The goal is to prevent further damage and preserve the natural teeth.

Periodontitis is treated with deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), antibiotics, and in severe cases, surgery. The US cost ranges from $1,500 to $20,000 depending on the extent of treatment.
Advanced periodontal disease may require multiple visits and follow-up care. Dental insurance often covers a portion of these costs.
