If you consider you have gum disease, then visit your Glasgow dentist as soon as possible to get complete check-up of your teeth and gums.  Your Glasgow dentist will assess the 'cuff' of gum around each tooth to note whether any periodontal disease has started or not and measures the damage done by the disease either to the gums or the nearby bone. X-rays may also be taken for this purpose. According to this assessment your Glasgow dentist will prescribe you the correct treatment.
First of all, your Glasgow dentists usually clean thoroughly the teeth and gums and guide you about dental hygiene which includes cleaning of teeth and removal of plaque at home more effectively. After cleaning, your dentist may decide to further clean the roots of the teeth, to remove each and every pocket of bacteria.
Unfortunately periodontal disease can never be cured completely.  But with complete dental hygiene at home and with regular dental check up any further loss of bone will be checked and it may stop altogether.  So be careful that you must remove plaque every day and go for regular check ups as advised by your Glasgow dentist.
