Periodontal & Gum Care

We examine your gums and measure the spaces around your teeth to look for inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and other signs of periodontal disease.

When bacteria and hardened deposits accumulate beneath the gums, a regular cleaning may not be enough. Scaling and root planing carefully cleans below the gumline to help control infection and allow the gums to heal.

After treatment for gum disease, more frequent professional cleanings may be recommended to help prevent harmful bacteria and tartar from building up again.

In certain areas of persistent gum infection, ARESTIN antibiotic microspheres can be placed directly beneath the gums. This provides targeted medication to help control bacteria alongside periodontal treatment.

Periodontal disease is often a long-term condition rather than a one-time problem. We work with you to control the disease, maintain healthy gums, and protect the bone that supports your teeth.
