Periodontal disease can cause oral pain and discomfort, bad breath, and loss of teeth. But when you catch it early, Bethany Heights Dental Care, in Allen, TX, will work with you to reverse the effects of gum disease, often using a scaling and root planing procedure.
The Problem
If not properly removed, plaque and tartar left on the teeth can cause a build up in bacteria. This turns into the first stage of gum disease, gingivitis. Your gums will likely be swollen and tender and will be more likely to bleed when brushing your teeth or even just eating!
The Solution
With scaling and root planing at Bethany Heights Dental Care, in Allen, TX we’ll be able to rid your mouth of the effects of periodontal disease and treat your gingivitis early, before it advances into later stages which can increase the likelihood of more extensive work or a dental emergency. Our skilled dental team will scale your teeth to clean all plaque and tartar build up. We will then plane your roots, removing all of the rough surfaces to keep plaque and tartar from sticking to these hard-to-reach places under the gums.
As a patient with gingivitis, this deep clean should be part of your routine dental care when you come in for your dental checkups. In many cases, our staff will prescribe periodontal maintenance which includes a custom schedule to properly address your gum disease issue.
