There are several effective ways to treat gum disease. For patients who have their natural teeth, we recommend regular visits for thorough, individualized cleanings. This is not just a routine cleaning—it is a detailed and comprehensive process tailored to your needs.
Treating gum disease involves more than removing plaque and tartar. We focus on cleaning deep below the gum line to eliminate harmful bacteria that contribute to the disease. Think of it as a detailed maintenance service, similar to giving your car a deep cleaning to keep it running smoothly.
In addition to these cleanings, we may use specific medications to help control the infection and support your oral health. Regular professional care, combined with proper at-home hygiene, is essential for managing gum disease and maintaining a healthy smile.
