Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-step process that combats the harmful effects of gum disease by minimizing the accumulation of harmful oral bacteria that lead to worsening infection. First, our team will thoroughly remove all plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, as far down as the pockets of the gums. Then, we’ll remove all hardened deposits of bacteria from the roots, allowing the gums to healthily reattach to the teeth and protect the vulnerable underlying layers of the teeth.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
We can utilize our soft tissue laser to help further combat the deteriorating effects of gum disease. Using a small, concentrated beam of light, our dentists can gently and precisely remove severely damaged gum tissue, leaving only the healthy tissue behind. This will help control oral bacteria accumulation as well as allow the healthy tissue to reattach to the teeth to protect the roots, minimizing the risk of tooth loss.
