Regular brushing and flossing at home can only do so much to keep your gums healthy. As much as we try to maintain good oral hygiene, sometimes plaque buildup can get out of hand and lead to more serious issues, like periodontal disease. That’s where dental deep cleanings come in.
This gum therapy treatment tackles those hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing can miss, so you won’t have to address these issues alone. Our periodontic dentists at Marshlands Family Dentistry, Dr. John Wise and Dr. Edward Wise, will be by your side from start to finish.
Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a fancy term for deep cleaning your teeth and gums to treat gum disease without surgery. It sounds technical, but it’s just a thorough cleaning of your teeth below the gumline, where bacteria can cause inflammation and infection. In these cleanings, we target tartar buildup, giving your gums a fresh start. Regular deep cleaning can prevent the progression of gum disease and maintain oral health.
Do you need more than a regular dental cleaning and check-up? Here are some signs your gums may need special attention:
