Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment

For those who have periodontal disease, after discussing the treatment options, our recommendation will always be the most conservative therapy that has the best chance of succeeding. If the problem is slight, the recommendation might be a simple as more frequent professional dental cleanings. If the problem is more established, we may recommend scaling, sometimes called deep cleaning. This involves a detailed removal of all hard deposits from the root surfaces of the teeth and disrupting and flushing away of the bacteria that grow under the gum line. There are many additional treatment options available, depending on the specifics of the individual situation.
