Scaling & Root Planing
Moderate gum disease is past the point where it can be reversed simply by brushing and flossing more diligently. With scaling, our team will remove plaque and tartar that have built up throughout your mouth. This includes the areas under the gumline that you wouldn’t be able to reach on your own. After scaling is root planing, which is the process of smoothing out the root surfaces of the teeth. This helps prevent further flare-ups by creating a smooth surface that bacteria can’t accumulate on as easily.
Periodontal Maintenance
Gum disease is not a condition that goes away with just one treatment. Your tissues will need to be maintained regularly to ensure that the inflammation doesn’t get any worse. We may recommend that you start visiting our dental office every 3 to 4 months for cleanings. Not only does this give us more chances to remove harmful bacteria before they can make the problem worse, but it also allows us to confirm that your gums are healing properly.
