Soothing Bleeding or Swollen Gums

No matter how you find out about it, you need to have gum disease treated as soon as possible before it can lead to chronic bad breath or even loose teeth.

Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease is linked to large amounts of plaque, tartar, and bacteria accumulating around and below the gum line. The process of removing it from the teeth and gums – including areas that would be overlooked during a normal cleaning – is known as scaling. Once this step is complete, we will “plane” the roots of the teeth, meaning we smooth the surfaces so that bacteria can’t gather on them as easily in the future.
