From gingivitis to healthy gums
Treatment starts with a careful measurement of the gum pockets around every tooth. Early gingivitis usually responds to a thorough cleaning and better home care. Deeper infection is treated with scaling and root planing, a comfortable deep cleaning below the gumline, often assisted by our dental laser to reduce bacteria and speed healing.
Because gum health is linked to heart health, diabetes and pregnancy outcomes, we take it seriously and coordinate with your physician when it matters.
