Periodontal Care
Gum therapy including scaling and root planing, ARESTIN and Perio Protect to stop periodontal disease from costing you teeth.
Gum disease is the most common reason adults lose teeth, and it is usually painless until it is advanced. Bleeding, recession and persistent bad breath are the signals worth acting on early.
Scaling and root planing removes bacteria and calculus below the gumline and lets tissue reattach. ARESTIN places antibiotic directly into deeper pockets after cleaning.
Perio Protect uses custom trays to deliver medication at home between visits, which helps patients with stubborn pockets maintain their result. Maintenance intervals are set to your risk, not a generic schedule.
Common questions
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Periodontitis can be stabilized and maintained, though lost bone does not grow back on its own.
Does deep cleaning hurt?
The area is numbed, so treatment itself is comfortable. Mild tenderness for a day or two afterward is normal.
