Our most recommended treatments for gum disease are scaling and root planing, two powerful deep cleaning methods. Scaling removes infected gum tissue from above and below your gum line, while root planing is the process by which we smooth rough patches on your tooth’s surface where bacteria and infection can become trapped. Also available are surgical treatments and cosmetic repairs for more serious cases.
