What this treatment involves

Frequently asked questions
Are bleeding gums normal?
Frequent bleeding during brushing or flossing can be a sign of inflammation and should not be ignored. A dental evaluation can identify the cause.
What is scaling and root planing?
These non-surgical procedures remove plaque and calculus from below the gumline and smooth contaminated root surfaces so the gums can heal more effectively.
When should I see a dentist about my gums?
Arrange an evaluation for gums that bleed easily, appear red or swollen, pull away from teeth, produce persistent bad breath or pus, or when teeth feel loose or the bite changes.
