Scaling & Root Planing
We need to clean your teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar causing gum disease. However, a regular cleaning likely won’t get rid of all the buildup; we’ll need to perform a scaling treatment that focuses on the small spaces between the teeth and gums. Then we can smooth out the roots of the teeth with a procedure called root planing so that plaque is likely to accumulate around this area and cause a reinfection.
Antibiotic Therapy
Since gum disease is caused by harmful oral bacteria, it only makes sense that you can use antibiotics to fight it. We usually recommend using antibiotic therapy alongside scaling and root planing; that way, the medication can fight any bacteria that aren’t removed via deep cleaning. Oftentimes, antibiotic therapy is essential for keeping oral bacteria levels under control while your mouth is healing. Your periodontal treatment plan will be specially tailored according to your needs and the current severity of your condition.
