Periodontal Disease Management and Maintenance

Dentist Glendale

Periodontal disease, while treatable, cannot be fully cured. If diagnosed, we may recommend scaling and root planing, commonly known as deep cleaning. This procedure involves removing plaque, bacteria, and tartar from root surfaces and deep periodontal pockets, promoting tissue healing and stability. Post-treatment, regular maintenance visits are crucial to monitor oral health, minimize inflammation, and prevent further bone and tissue damage caused by bacteria and tartar buildup.
