Non-Surgical Treatment

Periodontal health can be achieved with non-surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment is often the first step in treatment of periodontal disease.

Scaling and Root Planing

This process involves the careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from any deep periodontal pockets that are present. The root of the tooth is also smoothed in order to remove bacterial toxins. This is an effective treatment for controlling periodontal disease, although regular maintenance is still required in order to sustain long-term dental health. Professional dental cleaning is recommended between 2-4 times per year depending on the type and severity of your periodontal disease.

Antimicrobial Therapy

Periodontal disease is bacterial in nature. As a result, it can be controlled by reducing or eliminating the harmful bacteria that cause the disease. Oral antibiotics are an adjunct to scaling and root planing. This can be prescribed in pill form. It can also be directly applied to an infected gum pocket or into the space between the teeth and the gums as an antibiotic powder or gel. Antibacterial mouth rinses can also be used to control and reduce bacterial plaque usually for post-surgery plaque reduction. Antibiotics are usually only recommended for acute or aggressive periodontal infections.

Ongoing Hygiene Maintenance

While dental professionals can help you maintain your oral health, ongoing care of your teeth and gums is also very important. Brushing is recommended for at least two minutes, at least twice a day. Flossing is recommended at least once a day. Other oral health care aids and products are available today to help maintain your oral health.

To our valued patients,

We hope that this notice finds you in good health. At this time, we are currently working hard to reschedule all patients. We are excited to welcome you back to the office and would like to share with you some of the changes you might notice moving forward.

  1. Within 24 hours of your appointment time, our office will be in contact with you to ask some screening questions regarding Covid-19. These same questions will be asked again at the time of entering the office. This screening protocol has been designed to ensure the utmost safety for all patients and staff.
  2. In order to ensure proper social distancing, please press the buzzer on the door at the time of your appointment and we will let you in once we are ready for you to enter the clinic. Please wear a mask to your appointment. Hand sanitizer will be provided upon entry to the office.
  3. Our office will look different! We have made changes to our work environment to allow for proper social distancing and to facilitate the many enhanced cleaning and disinfection protocols that have been implemented.
  4. We thank you for your patience! We require more time in between patient visits and can book fewer patients in a day. This may result in fewer options for scheduling appointments and longer appointment times.
  5. In regards to previously scheduled visits for the summer months: Please understand that we are working to manage a backlog of cancellations since March 2020. If you have a visit in June, July, or August, which was scheduled prior to March 15, please consider this appointment to be cancelled. All previously scheduled patients will be contacted by phone to make the necessary changes to this appointment time or date. We thank you for your understanding.
