The Importance of Periodontal Care

If you are experiencing any signs of gum disease, give us a call right away for a consultation with one of our dentists. Untreated periodontal disease is detrimental to your overall health. It can cause your teeth to become loose or fall out, and is even linked to increased risk of heart disease. To make sure your gums are on the right track to optimal dental health, we offer scaling and root planing to keep them free from bacteria and plaque.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that removes any bacteria or tartar that is hiding under your gums. During this treatment, one of our dentists will use professional grade tools to scale bacteria from your teeth, and smooth the surfaces of your teeth to help avoid buildup in the future. This procedure helps prevent periodontal disease and keeps your mouth and teeth safe.
