Process of Gum Disease Treatment
Initial Examination: Your visit at Mālama Dental starts with a thorough evaluation of your gums and teeth to assess the severity of gum disease. We may measure pocket depths and take digital X-rays to check for bone loss and other underlying issues.
Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning treatment involves two key steps. Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line. Root planing smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach and reduce future plaque accumulation.
Local Anesthesia or Sedation: To ensure your comfort, we may recommend local anesthesia or gentle sedation during the procedure to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
Antibacterial Treatment: We may apply antibacterial or antimicrobial solutions to the gum pockets to eliminate bacteria and encourage healing, supporting long-term gum health.
Next Steps
Post-Treatment Care: After your deep cleaning, it’s crucial to maintain a strict oral hygiene routine to support gum health and prevent disease from returning.
Brush and floss daily, and use any prescribed antibacterial rinses as directed by our team.
Schedule regular dental checkups at Mālama Dental to monitor your gum health and catch any early signs of gum disease.
If you notice any discomfort, bleeding, or symptoms of gum disease coming back, contact us promptly for evaluation and personalized treatment.
