Scaling & Root Planing
At-home oral care isn’t enough to treat severe cases of gum disease. Once the condition moves past the early stages, you’ll need scaling and root planing – a deep cleaning of the areas near your gumline. The scaling portion removes plaque from your teeth, including the roots beneath your gums. Later, root planing smooths out your tooth roots so the gums can reattach to them. This reattachment helps you avoid future further gum recession.
Periodontal Maintenance
Unlike gingivitis, periodontitis – the advanced form of gum disease – can’t be reversed. The only thing to do is manage the condition so it doesn’t get worse. That means the patient should attend professional cleanings every 3-4 months (instead of the typical six). By doing so, we can keep your gums stable and (relatively) symptom-free. You’ll still need to brush and floss between visits, though.
