What Our Clients Say
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on the surface of the teeth above the gum line to prevent decay. A deep gum cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is a therapeutic treatment required when there are signs of gum disease (periodontitis). We clean deep into the pockets between your teeth and gums to remove bacteria and smooth the tooth roots, allowing the gums to reattach and heal properly.
Arestin® is a localized antibiotic that we place directly into the infected gum pockets after scaling and root planing. Unlike a pill that travels through your whole body, Arestin® stays exactly where the infection is, slowly releasing medication over time to kill remaining bacteria. This significantly improves the success rate of the treatment and helps your gum pockets shrink more effectively.
If you experience bleeding while brushing, persistent bad breath, swollen or tender gums, or if your gums are beginning to pull away from your teeth, you may have periodontal disease. During your exam in our Encino office, we measure your “pocket depths.” Any pocket deeper than 3mm usually indicates that a deep cleaning is necessary to save your teeth and bone.
Absolutely. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults because it destroys the bone that holds your teeth in place. By removing the infection through scaling, root planing, and Arestin® therapy, we stop the bone loss in its tracks and give your teeth a stable, healthy environment to last a lifetime.
Most patients feel very little discomfort after the procedure. Your gums may be slightly tender or sensitive to cold for a day or two, which is a sign that the healing process has begun. We will provide specific aftercare instructions, including when to resume flossing and how to maintain your results with regular periodontal maintenance visits.
