Scaling & Root Planing
If it’s caught in its earliest stages, the bacteria that is responsible for triggering gum disease can usually be kept in check with routine dental cleanings and diligent at-home oral hygiene. However, if things get out of control, you might require a more extensive form of deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. This involves carefully clearing out the bad bacteria beneath your gumline, and then smoothing out the roots of the teeth so that the gum tissue can reattach itself.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
These days, using lasers in dentistry has become the norm, and we’re thrilled to have a soft tissue diode laser that we can use during gum disease treatment! This tool is remarkably gentler than traditional scalpels, and since it sterilizes and cauterizes as it removes tissue, it leads to increased patient comfort and decreased recovery timelines. Ideal for advanced cases of periodontal disease, we can use the laser to remove damaged tissue and encourage the healthy tissue to regenerate.
Antibiotic Therapy
Your gum disease treatment might require the use of antibiotics such as Arestin. This medicine is applied directly in the pockets of the gums. It targets and fights the infection that causes gum disease, which isn’t always able to be addressed with routine dental cleanings. Whether it’s a one-and-done treatment or a long-term plan, we’ll work closely with you to ensure that you’re able to manage your gum health moving forward.
