Periodontal diagnosis and treatment

Periodontal diagnosis, known as "Gum Disease" is an infection of the tissue and bone that supports your teeth. Periodontal disease has many different levels from minor To severe. The severity and how far the disease has progressed determines the type of treatment necessary.

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT - includes regular hygiene sessions better known as a cleaning appointment. Deep cleanings with the use of local anesthesia allow the dentist or hygienist to remove tarter that has accumulated deeper on the tooth roots.

Another non-surgical procedure is the placement of a medicine called Arestin Directly to the infected area of the gums.. Arestin works over a 14 day period to reduce the bacteria that causes the infectious process in the gums. This reduces pocket depth thereby improving the health of the gums and supportive tooth structure.
