Like your teeth, your gum tissues need regular care and professional second opinions to ensure they are fully healthy. When you visit our office for a routine visit, our periodontists will provide a comprehensive analysis of your overall oral health to determine if further action is required to protect your smile. We will also perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums to remove any lingering plaque on or below the gum line. When plaque remains on the teeth and gums, it can result in a gum tissue infection know as periodontal disease. To remove plaque below the gum line, we may need to perform a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing, which eliminates the plaque and reduces the chances of bacteria reforming in these areas.
