Treatment for periodontitis includes several procedures such as scaling and root planing that remove plaque from below the gum line. Sometimes, surgical treatment in the form of flap surgery or bone and tissue grafts may be required to reestablish compromised structures. It is imperative to collaborate with a periodontist to find a treatment plan that will meet an individual’s needs.

If it is controlled diabetes you can undergo surgical treatment , else you will have to wait n get it under control . If it is very advanced you may have to have surgery which will help you to retain your natural teeth
