Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing (known as a deep cleaning) is designed to help stop the spread of gum disease by removing tartar and plaque build-up from the gumline and the roots of teeth. It can help prevent cascading dental health issues due to gum disease progression, such as tooth loss.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
We may utilize our soft tissue laser during your scaling and root planing procedure to help achieve a more thorough clean. The laser emits a very small beam of light that can kill harmful oral bacteria on contact as well as remove gum tissue without the need for a scalpel or sutures. This advanced technology dramatically minimizes post-operative discomfort and bleeding as well!
Antibiotic Treatment
In combination with a deep cleaning and/or laser treatment, we may also recommend antibiotic therapy. We will prescribe a course of antibiotics for you to take in the form of a medicated mouth rinse or pill. This will help kill harmful oral bacteria in the hardest-to-reach spots to stop disease progression and assist your body in fighting off the infection.
