How to Treat Periodontal Disease
Did you know that there are four different types of teeth cleanings? Did you know that performing the wrong type of cleaning can actually hurt instead of help?
Types of teeth cleanings:
Preventative therapy for a healthy mouth
Periodontal therapy to treat specific areas of an infected mouth
Periodontal therapy to treat each tooth in an infected mouth
Periodontal maintenance therapy for a mouth in the process of periodontal therapy
In conjunction with administering the correct teeth cleaning, we treat gum disease on all fronts, using cutting edge technology such as a bacteria-reducing laser, an ultrasonic, a comprehensive homecare system, and localized placement of antibiotics.
To treat periodontal disease, we use non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapies, often including scaling and root planing therapy, sometimes called a ‘deep cleaning.’ Because periodontal disease is a chronic infection, periodontal therapy is not just a one-time event, but a process. We want to partner with you to discuss your individual needs, and review all of your treatment options. Our commitment to you is to create a sustainable plan for a successful future in all areas of your health.
