Scaling & Root Planing
Once gum disease has reached a certain level, a routine cleaning and improved oral care habits won’t be enough to prevent the infection from spreading. This is because plaque has developed underneath the gum line where brushing and flossing cannot reach. Scaling and root planing work to break down the plaque beneath gum tissue as well as smooth out the tooth roots. They promote reattachment of the gum tissue to the teeth, which is necessary to prevent tooth loss.
Antibiotic Therapy
To prevent future gum infections from developing and treat specific areas of your mouth more precisely, we use antibiotic therapy. This medication is typically placed underneath the gums during the scaling and root planing process. Once applied, the bacteria that led to your gum disease will be eliminated, preventing future deterioration of your gum and bone tissue. We may also recommend certain at-home products containing antibiotics as your gums heal.
