The non-surgical treatment for gum disease involves a combined effort of professional and at-home care.

In The Office
In the office we meticulously clean the teeth and root surfaces and we use anti-bacterial solutions to remove the bacterial population. Monitoring the bacteria using scientific means, a microscope, helps us evaluate the progress of treatment. We do this in addition to checking the disease levels and monitoring inflammation for a more complete evaluation.

In some cases, we may also use Laser Gum Treatment to help heal the diseased gum tissue.

Proper replacement of broken-down fillings, improperly fitting dental appliances and the correction of bite problems may also be recommended to help stop the destruction of periodontal disease.

At Home
At home, each person follows a simple, effective home care routine designed for their particular needs. This usually involves the application of anti-bacterial agents as well as the use of a water irrigator with antiseptic solutions.

Periodically we monitor the bacterial levels to help us verify that oral health is being maintained, as well as full periodic re-examination.
