HAVE YOU BEEN DIAGNOSED with gum disease? With thoughtful treatment and careful maintenance we can correct the problem and protect your healthy smile. Depending on your individual condition and needs, we may recommend a treatment that’s known by several different names. It’s sometimes called “root planing and scaling”, or a “periodontal cleaning”, or “deep cleaning.”

The Solution:
- Removing the calculus from below the gum line, using special tools.
- Smoothing the root surfaces to be sure plaque can’t continue to get traction.
- Once the plaque and calculus are removed, your gums can finally heal.
Gum Disease Treatment May Require Some Follow-Up Maintenance And Monitoring
Remember that after we’ve completed treatment, there may be additional maintenance necessary. More frequent cleanings will help protect your recovering gums and allow us to monitor your progress.
