Mild to moderate cases of gum disease can often be treated with a procedure known as scaling and root planing. Our experts in periodontal cleaning in Los Angeles will pull back the gums to reveal areas of the teeth that are not normally visible. Then our dentist will remove bacteria that are located above and below the gum line. After the teeth have been cleaned, our dentist will smooth the tooth roots to prevent future bacterial buildup.
After our dentist sends you home, there are certain steps you can take to ensure your oral health remains intact. You should brush and floss your teeth every day, and schedule appointments with your dentist twice a year.
