How is gum disease treated?

At our practice, we offer gum disease treatment to get your oral health back on track. Here are the
services we may recommend to combat gum disease:

Scaling & root planing

This is a deep cleaning procedure. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. Root planing smoothes the surface of the tooth root, helping the gums reattach to the tooth.

Root surface debridement

This procedure is similar to scaling a root planing, using a special electronic tool. The tool emits ultrasonic vibrations to break up hardened plaque and tartar from the teeth.
