Scaling & Root Planing
Deep cleanings, also called scaling and root planing, are a two-step process designed to minimize harmful oral bacteria and aid in healing. First, our team will thoroughly clear all plaque and tartar from the surface of your gumline. Then, we’ll remove any hardened pockets of bacteria on the roots of your teeth, which will help the gum tissue reattach to the tooth and provide crucial protection from tooth loss.
Antibiotic Treatment
In combination with a deep cleaning, we may also recommend antibiotic treatment, which involves a regular course of antibiotics taken over the course of one to two weeks. After your treatment is finished, we’ll have you come back into our office to see the results and determine our next course of action.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
During your deep cleaning, we may use our soft-tissue laser to gently eliminate harmful bacteria and remove diseased gum tissue. The laser precisely targets damaged areas while preserving healthy tissue, reducing the need for scalpels or sutures and making treatment far more comfortable.
