Scaling & Root Planing
Once bacteria spread beneath the gumline, deep cleaning may be required. Also known as scaling and root planing, the two-part process is highly effective and safe to administer. We start with scaling, which is the removal of plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline before switching to root planing. This involves removing bacteria by smoothing out the roots of your teeth so that your gums reattach and heal properly.
Antibiotic Treatment
Antibiotic treatment is often used alongside scaling and root planing because of its effectiveness in reaching the smallest pockets of bacteria that other instruments often cannot reach. We use Arestin and apply it to your gum pockets so that the medicine will disperse over several weeks, targeting bacteria and eliminating it. This process encourages healing and reduces pocket size for healthier gums.
