Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-part process that helps reduce the amount of harmful bacteria in your mouth and allows your gums to heal. First, our team will remove all plaque and tartar accumulation on the surface and roots of your teeth. Afterward, we’ll smooth out the roots, which will enable your gums to healthily reattach to protect them and reduce your risk of experiencing loose or lost teeth.
Arestin Antibiotic Therapy
In combination with scaling and root planing, we typically also recommend Arestin antibiotic therapy. Instead of needing to take a pill that exposes your entire body to an antibiotic, Arestin allows us to target the infected area of your gums, providing better results. We’ll place Arestin antibiotic beads directly into the pockets of your gums to eliminate the infection at its source. Over the course of several days, these will slowly dissolve, continually bathing your gums with medicine.
