Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, targets plaque and tartar above and below the gumline so that your soft tissues can heal and reattach successfully. Our team will remove bacteria from your teeth and gums before smoothing the tooth roots. With our comfort-based approach, you will notice a dramatic improvement and have a seamless recovery.
Antibiotic Treatment
When bacteria are too deep for scaling and root planing to reach, Dr. Heinsheimer will either apply antibiotics directly or give you a prescription mouthwash to help your gums heal. The medication reduces inflammation and gum pockets, eliminates the infection, and protects the healthy tissues of your smile.
