Scaling & Root Planing
As the infection spreads and creates gum pockets, bacteria can easily become trapped. With scaling, we can remove built-up plaque and tartar from the teeth and gumline before moving on to root planing. This process involves going deep within the gum pockets to smooth the tooth roots, reducing the chances of reinfection while also encouraging gum reattachment.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Some areas of bacteria can be difficult to reach only using scaling and root planing, which is when we turn to laser periodontal treatment. Minimally invasive and comfortable, the laser’s precision targets only the diseased areas of the gums, leaving all healthy tissues alone. Using this method of gum disease treatment, we can easily remove plaque and tartar around the gumline. There is almost no pain and bleeding, which leads to a shorter recovery time.
