Questions? Find the Answer

What is scaling and root planing?

Scaling and root planing is a thorough cleaning process aimed at removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing the roots of the teeth. This procedure helps to prevent the progression of gum disease by eliminating the bacteria that cause infection.

How does periodontal maintenance differ from regular cleanings?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning procedure for patients who have been treated for periodontal disease. This ongoing treatment helps prevent the disease from recurring by cleaning pockets of bacteria that regular brushing, flossing, and standard cleanings can’t reach.

What are local delivery antimicrobial agents, and how do they work?

Local delivery antimicrobial agents are medications placed directly into the gum pockets. These agents release antibiotics or antiseptics over time to reduce bacteria and inflammation, aiding in the healing process and preventing further periodontal damage.

Who needs non-surgical periodontal care?

Patients experiencing early signs of gum disease or those looking to maintain their periodontal health can benefit from non-surgical treatments.

How often should I undergo periodontal maintenance?

The frequency of periodontal maintenance depends on your specific dental health needs. Our team will work with you to create a personalized care plan.
