Dentist Charleston

Periodontal disease, while treatable, cannot be fully cured. If diagnosed, we typically recommend a procedure known as scaling and root planing, also called deep cleaning. This treatment involves gently removing plaque, bacteria, and tartar from the root surfaces and deep pockets around the teeth. Using numbing agents for comfort, our goal is to reduce bleeding and inflammation, prevent further bone loss, and promote the healing of gum tissue. Following this procedure, ongoing maintenance visits are essential to monitor your oral health and prevent disease recurrence and progression.
