Gum Treatments

Scaling and Root Planing
If we have diagnosed you with periodontal disease or periodontal pocketing, he and your hygienist may recommend a deep cleaning. This cleaning, known as scaling and root planing, is done to clean below the gum line in areas where your toothbrush and dental floss cannot reach. Often this treatment is completed with a topical or local anesthetic for your comfort. And frequently this treatment is done over two office visits.

Local Antibiotic Placement (Arestin®)
Should you have localized areas of gum infection or pocketing, our team may recommend the placement of an antibiotic into these areas. This antibiotic acts to disinfect the pocketed area and allow your body to heal more quickly. Often, antibiotic assisted care can result in reduction of the depth of periodontal pocketing.

At Willow Street Dental, we work closely with local specialists in periodontal treatment. If our doctors see a gum problem that requires advanced care, we will gladly refer you to a specialist who is highly trained to care for your specific needs. Your best care is our number one priority.
