We Treat Gum Infections With a Deep Cleaning
Our doctors treat infected gums with a deep cleaning treatment called scaling and root planing:
- First, we numb your mouth with local anesthesia. You can also receive dental sedation if you’d like.
- Next, we remove plaque and bacteria accumulation from your teeth (scaling).
- Then we smooth your tooth roots (root planing) to make it more difficult for bacteria to collect at the gumline.
It’s important to treat gum disease as it’s the leading cause of tooth loss among American adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, more than half of adults have some form of infection. Not only that, but research has linked gum disease to serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and low birth weight in babies.
