Scaling & Root Planing
Our most common recommendation for gum disease treatment is scaling and root planing, which is an in-depth cleaning that specifically targets infectious bacteria beneath the gum line. Our team will also smooth the rough tooth root surfaces, which are prime breeding grounds for plaque accumulation.
Antibiotic Treatment
In most cases, we will recommend antibiotic therapy with Arestin following scaling and root planing or even as its own worthwhile service. This medication is directly applied to the periodontal pockets and other vulnerable areas in order to target and eliminate dangerous bacteria. Our goal is to replenish your oral health as effectively as possible!
