Periodontal Therapy
Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, offers not only oral health benefits but also systemic health advantages. By effectively removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the gum pockets, this procedure helps control and reduce the harmful bacteria that contribute to gum disease. As a result, the risk of systemic inflammation and its associated health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, can be minimized. Maintaining a healthy periodontium (the support for your teeth and gums) through scaling and root planing can have a positive impact on overall systemic health, highlighting the interconnectedness between oral health and general well-being. Call us today if you notice bleeding while brushing, bad breath or missing or loose teeth. It may be a sign that you need periodontal therapy.
