Periodontal Disease Treatment in Marriottsville, MD
At Dovedale Dental Care, we offer multiple treatment options to patients with gingivitis and periodontitis:
Antibacterial Rinses
At routine appointments, we can provide antibacterial rinses. These rinses minimize the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth. If harmful bacteria build up between teeth and on the gums, patients often begin to experience the early stages of gum disease.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing are effective deep cleaning treatments for patients with gingivitis. Our dental hygienists can perform these treatments in conjunction with antibacterial rinses. During scaling treatment, our hygienists use special dental tools to remove plaque and calculus from the gums. Plaque is a sticky bacterial film that becomes tartar or calculus as it builds up and hardens. Root planing smooths the root surfaces, which encourages the gums to reattach to the tooth surfaces.
Laser Dentistry
Our soft tissue lasers may be used to treat patients with gum disease. Dental lasers offer precise treatment using light and heat to contour or cut the gum tissue. If patients have deep gum pockets as a result of gum disease, we can graft tissue from one part of the mouth to prevent further gum recession. Using dental lasers, we can also remove infected gum tissue to stop the spread of infection.
