Scaling & Root Planing
The primary cause of gum disease tends to be an accumulation of bacteria-filled plaque and tartar near and below the gum line. Scaling is a process in which we physically remove this build-up, and then the roots of the teeth are gently smoothed and reshaped. This is root planing, which prevents plaque from gathering around the gums in the future, plus it kickstarts the healing process so the mouth can quickly recover.
Chlorhexidine Antibiotic Therapy
Another way we tackle gum disease involves an antibiotic rinse called Chlorhexidine. This is applied to the gums, which helps fight the infection directly, as opposed to someone taking an oral antibiotic. We can use it in the dental office, plus there are mouth rinses that can be used at home to help a patient keep themselves healthy between dental appointments. It can clear up an ongoing infection while also lowering the risk of reinfection at the same time.
