Enjoy Smiling Again After Thorough Gum Care

Gum disease can sneak up on you. You may not realize it’s a problem until the advanced stages. However, there are symptoms to notice, such as red or swollen gum tissue, bleeding when you brush or floss, or persistent bad breath. If you recognize these signs at home, or we notice them during an examination, we’ll recommend treatments, such as:

  • Deep Cleaning –If your gum disease is in the early stages, we’ll do a deep cleaning. This does more than just your regular cleaning, because it reaches under the gumline and targets the specific area of infection.
  • Scaling and Root Planing – For more advanced gum disease, we’ll do a scaling procedure, which scrapes away the tartar surrounding the infected gum tissue. Then we’ll follow up with root planing to smooth out your tooth roots and prevent further infection.

We always focus on making you as comfortable as possible during your appointment. While both procedures are relatively painless, we use a topical anesthetic that numbs your mouth, so you won’t feel a thing. Plus, our comfort dog April can help you relax too! We also have blankets, massaging chairs, and a white noise machine or calming music for you to enjoy.
