If you suspect you may have signs of Periodontal disease, make an appointment to see one of our understanding and caring Hygienists. After a basic cleaning and exam, if it is determined you do have periodontal disease it can be maintained with first having scaling and root planing.

Scaling and Root Planing - This procedure is done in two one hour appointments, under local anestheia; the Hygienist will concentrate on one side of your mouth, both upper and lower, cleaning under the gum line to remove the plaque and bacteria. After the scaling and root planing are complete, your Hygienist may recomend more frequent cleanings to upkeep the periodontal maintenance.
