PERIODONTAL (GUM) TREATMENT
Once diagnosed with a gum disease, it is vital that you receive treatment promptly. Dr. Garanzuay has a number of treatment options available depending on the severity of your condition. The first step to any treatment is a thorough cleaning. This cleaning is conducted to control the infection. The two cleaning methods most commonly used are scaling and root planing. Scaling removes plaque and root planing smooths out rough spots on roots to prevent future buildup of bacteria.
Following a cleaning, the dentist will generally prescribe a medication or antimicrobial mouth rinse. In more advanced cases, a flap surgery or bone and tissue graft may be required. These surgeries are safe and don't cause a great deal of pain, even more so when done by an experienced professional like Dr. Garanzuay.
