How can gingivitis and periodontitis change treatment costs?
Gingivitis affects inflamed gum tissue, while periodontitis can damage periodontal ligament and alveolar bone and may need more involved care.
What should you request before comparing gum treatment estimates?
Request a periodontal chart, written treatment sequence, and explanation of what each visit includes before comparing estimates.
Which symptoms mean gum disease needs prompt assessment?
Arrange care for bleeding, recession, persistent odor, pus, or loose teeth; rapid swelling or fever requires prompt assessment.

Ask whether the estimate includes examination, radiographs, scaling, root planing, local anesthetic, review, and maintenance.
