Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, more commonly called deep cleanings, are a two-step process designed to help the body fight off gum infections. By thoroughly clearing away all plaque and tartar along the gumline, as well as hardened bacteria deposits on the roots of the teeth, we aim to stop the infection in its tracks.
Laser Periodontal Treatment with Solea® Perioguide™
Using our Solea Periodguide laser attachment, we can effectively target bacteria without using sutures, all while providing you with a much more comfortable experience. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce gum pocket depth, kill infection-causing bacteria, and remove severely damaged tissue to improve your oral health. By implementing this advanced technique into our office, we’re able to help patients save money by minimizing the need for referrals to specialists whenever possible.
Antibiotic Treatment
In combination with any of the treatments mentioned above, we may also recommend antibiotic treatment. This can require you to swish each day with a medicated mouthwash or take a course of pill antibiotics to help fight off your oral infection.
