A Thorough Cleaning to Get Your Dental Health Back on Track
How Pearly Dental Care Helps Combat Gum Disease
A diagnosis of gum disease can be addressed effectively through appropriate care. Depending on the nature and severity of an individual’s condition, Dr. Khatibian may recommend a procedure commonly referred to by several names — root planing and scaling, periodontal cleaning, or deep cleaning. With the right treatment approach and consistent maintenance, it is possible to manage the condition and preserve the health of the teeth and surrounding structures.
The Problem:
- A bacterial infection has become too “set-in” to be remedied by a routine cleaning.
- Plaque has solidified into calculus deposits that are sitting under the surface of your gums and continue to irritate the gums and spread infection.
The Solution:
- Removing the calculus from below the gumline using special tools.
- Smoothing the root surfaces to be sure plaque can’t continue to get traction.
- Once the plaque and calculus are removed, your gums can finally heal.
Remember that gum disease treatment may require some follow-up maintenance and monitoring. More frequent cleanings will help protect your recovering gums and allow us to monitor your progress.
