Professional cleanings (dental prophylaxis) performed by our licensed Dental Hygienist form the foundation for preventing gum disease and tooth decay.
We offer a variety of cleanings depending upon your oral health:
Debridement is usually the first phase of comprehensive periodontal treatment. A debridement is the removal of excessive amounts of plaque and tarter. After a debridement a re-evaluation of your teeth will determine what type of treatment is necessary.
Periodontal disease is a serious bacterial infection of the bone and gums around the teeth that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is usually treated with scaling and root planings alone or combined with localized antibiotics and laser therapy.
Regular professional cleanings and good home care are vital to a healthy smile. They provide healthy bone and gums which give your teeth a strong foundation.
