TREATING GUM DISEASE EARLY

SCALING AND ROOT PLANING

There is no cure for periodontal disease but the early stages of gum disease can be controlled with scaling and root planing therapy. This is a nonsurgical periodontal treatment performed under local anesthesia. We use an ultrasonic tool to remove plaque and calculus accumulate from the teeth and to clean and smooth rough surfaces around the gum line. This helps the gum tissue reattach to the teeth and improves overall oral health. This procedure also reduces pocket depth.

If you have recently been diagnosed with gum disease, Dr. Messer may recommend scaling and root planing as part of your treatment plan.

TREATING MODERATE TO SEVERE GUM DISEASE

Osseous Surgery

If you have moderate to advanced periodontal disease, you may be a good candidate for osseous surgery (flap surgery). This is an attractive option for patients who have not had good results with scaling and root planing therapy. The procedure works to reduce pocket depth by cleaning out the area below the gum line and smoothing out the surface of the tooth. As the gums start to heal, they reattach to the teeth. This surgery involves trimming some of the gum tissue and using stitches to hold the gum tissue in place. This procedure is a proven method for treating gum disease and may be the best option for patients who are not undergoing any type of laser treatment for periodontal disease.
