Scaling and Cleaning, Treatment of Gum Disease

Gum disease is a common condition which can lead to problems such as bleeding, painful gums, gum recession, bone loss and the eventual loss of teeth.

Thorough home care with brushing and flossing will help maintain healthy gums. Gum disease can be treated in a number of ways ranging from regular scaling and cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build up from your teeth to more advanced procedures such as root planing or gum surgery.
