A Thorough Cleaning to Get Your Dental Health Back on Track
How Orangewood Family Dental Helps Combat Gum Disease
Have you been diagnosed with gum disease? Concerned? Don’t be. We can help. With thoughtful treatment and careful maintenance, we can correct the problem and protect your healthy smile. Depending on your individual condition and needs, Dr. Fullenkamp may recommend a periodontal cleaning, also known as a periodontal deep cleaning or deep dental cleaning, including root planing and scaling.
The Problem:
- A bacterial infection has become too “set-in” to be remedied by a routine cleaning.
- Plaque has solidified into calculus deposits that are sitting under the surface of your gums and continue to irritate the gums and spread infection.
The Solution:
- Removing the calculus from below the gumline using special tools durning a periodontal deep cleaning.
- Smoothing the root surfaces to be sure plaque can’t continue to get traction.
- Once the plaque and calculus are removed, your gums can finally heal.
Remember that gum disease treatment may require some follow-up maintenance and monitoring. More frequent cleanings will help protect your recovering gums and allow us to monitor your progress.
