What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is a common oral infection that targets the foundation of your smile – your gums. It gradually progresses with time, causing a wide range of symptoms ranging from bleeding gums and chronic bad breath to tooth loss. Our team’s goal is to diagnose and treat the condition as early as possible to keep it from leading to permanent oral damage. At each of your dental checkups, we’ll examine your gums and let you know whether you could benefit from scaling and root planing.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, also known as a dental deep cleaning, is when our team will clear all plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth, as far down as the pockets of the gums. We’ll then smooth out the roots of the teeth, removing any hardened deposits of bacteria that could compromise the foundation of your teeth. During this process, we aim to reduce the prevalence of harmful oral bacteria and minimize symptoms of gum disease.
