Gum disease is the greatest threat to your teeth, and early treatment is important. By treating gum disease as soon as it is diagnosed, you can save yourself discomfort and can increase the odds of keeping your natural teeth.
One of the most common treatments for gum disease is called scaling and root planing. In this procedure, we remove the tartar and plaque from your teeth, especially beneath the gum line, and smooth rough root surfaces. Successful scaling and root planing may prevent the need for gum surgery later on. |
