Gum Disease Treatment in Thomasville, GA

Periodontal Maintenance Therapy

Periodontal maintenance therapy is an ongoing program designed to prevent the progression of gum disease and preserve your teeth and bone. It may be a necessary part of your treatment plan if you have been treated for gum disease. Periodontal maintenance visits typically occur every three to four months to keep bacteria at bay with thorough below the gum cleanings. Our dental hygienist will continue to measure the depths of periodontal pockets, or the spaces between the teeth and gums, to ensure gum health is maintained and treat any recurring areas of active periodontal infection. Periodontal maintenance is extremely important to keeping gum disease from causing further damage to the bone tissue and other structures that support the teeth.

Scaling and Root Planing in Thomasville, GA

Scaling & Root Planning Treatment

Patients in the early stages of periodontal disease may benefit most from scaling and root planing therapy. This is a non-surgical treatment performed under local anesthesia. We use an ultrasonic tool and small hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup in the mouth and clean deep below the gum line. We then smooth out the surfaces of the roots so the gum tissues can reattach to the teeth. Scaling and root planing helps eliminate gum inflammation, reducing the depths of periodontal pockets and improving gum health. Maintaining results after this treatment is easier with a diligent brushing and flossing routine alongside regular periodontal maintenance visits.
