A Thorough Cleaning To Get Your Dental Health Back On Track
How Fossum Family Dental Care Helps Combat Gum Disease
Have you been diagnosed with gum disease? Concerned? Donโt be. We can help. With thoughtful treatment and careful maintenance, we can correct the problem and protect your healthy smile. Depending on your individual condition and needs, Dr. Fossum may recommend a treatment thatโs known by several different names, such as root planing and scaling, periodontal cleaning, or โdeep cleaning.โ
The Problem:
- A bacterialย infection has become too โset-inโย to be remedied by a routine cleaning.
- Plaque has solidified into calculusย deposits that are sitting under the surface of your gums and continue to irritate the gums and spread infection.
The Solution:
- Removing the calculus from below the gum line using special tools.
- Smoothing the root surfaces toย be sure plaque canโt continue to get traction.
- Once the plaque and calculus are removed, your gums can finally heal.
Remember that gum disease treatment may require some follow-up maintenance and monitoring. Moreย frequent cleanings will help protect your recovering gumsย and allow us to monitor your progress.
