Scaling & Root Planing
When advanced gum disease develops, it make it impossible to clean with at-home care alone. Instead, our dental office performs scaling and root planing, both of which work to stop the infection from spreading and get your gum tissue back to a more manageable condition. Scaling is done to break down plaque and tartar from above and beneath the gum line. Root planing is designed to smooth out the tooth roots, which helps the gums reattach to the roots and reduces the risk of future infection.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
In addition to scaling and root planing, we may also use our dental laser to help combat the effects of gum disease. This small, highly concentrated beam of light is able to effortlessly vaporize severely damage gum tissue as well as kill harmful oral bacteria on-contact. It allows Dr. Pitarra and our team to prevent the progression of gum disease as well as minimize the prevalence of bacteria to preserve your smile and improve gum disease symptoms.
