Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling involves physically removing the plaque, tartar, and bacterial buildup below the gum line that is typically the source of gum disease. Once this step is completed, the roots of the teeth are slightly reshaped and smoothed (root planing). This speeds up the recovery process, makes it more difficult for infections to reoccur, and enables the gums to quickly reattach to the teeth so they can support them.
Arestin Antibiotic Therapy
Because gum disease bacteria can reside in very tiny pockets between the gums and teeth, we’re not able to completely remove it with scaling and root planing alone. With Arestin antibiotic therapy, we can apply the medicine directly where it is needed. It goes on, dries immediately, and then slowly dissolves over the course of a week, bathing the gums in a powerful antimicrobial agent. This eliminates the infection in even the hardest to reach areas.
