At the Dental Arts Studio of Cape Cod in Chatham and Orleans, we always examine your mouth for signs of gum disease, and if caught, we have treatment methods to help cleanse your mouth and prevent the disease from worsening. One of the most common treatments offered and a first line of defense against gum disease is scaling and root planing. This treatment involves using extra small tools to access the area below the gum line, removing bacteria, tartar and plaque that has built up around the tooth roots. Once we cleanse the area and smooth out your tooth roots, your gum tissue will be able to reconnect to your teeth and maintain a healthy, protective, and attractive barrier. If you are affected by periodontitis or advanced periodontitis, we offer effective periodontal maintenance treatments that are scheduled every three months. Periodontal maintenance involves scaling and root planing, plus an in-depth cleaning of the teeth and gums. This helps keep gum disease in check and ensure your gums and bones don’t become infected again. With regular appointments, you can keep your mouth clean and healthy for years to come!
