Gum Treatment Options

Foundational care and modern technology work together to stop gum disease and restore oral health.

Deep Cleaning

Scaling & Root Planing

The cornerstone of non-surgical gum treatment. Addresses the root cause of gum disease before it progresses.

Scaling

Removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.

Root Planing

Smoothes tooth roots to promote healing and reattachment of gum tissue.

Goal: Prevent progression to advanced periodontitis and protect underlying bone.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, affects millions of adults.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is caused by bacterial infection that damages the gums, ligaments, and bone supporting your teeth. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, forms on your teeth daily. When not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed professionally through dental scaling.
