Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease is primarily caused by bacteria found in plaque and tartar that has built up on the roots of the teeth near the gum line. To remove it, we first use a small scaler to clear away the substances, and then the roots of the teeth are smoothed out (which is called root planing). This enables the gums to heal quicker and also prevents plaque and tartar from gathering around the gums in the future.
PerioChip
After your periodontal cleaning, our dentists may choose to place what is called a PerioChip in the space between certain teeth and the gums. While the chips themselves are extremely small, they contain a very powerful medicine that is able to reach and eliminate any bacteria left after scaling. Once the chip is positioned within the mouth, it will start dissolving and dispersing the medicine, so a patient doesn’t have to do anything to enjoy the benefits!
