Periodontal, Cleaning & Checkups

Caring for your gums is one of the most important parts of dental care. Our hygiene team takes the time to educate you about your oral health so you can maintain healthy teeth and gums between appointments.

When you visit for periodontal care, we clean above the gum line using scaling, and below it with root planing. We use both traditional hand scalers and ultrasonic tools to remove calculus.

During your visit, our team performs a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. Depending on your specific treatment needs, this may include checking your gum tissue, performing an oral cancer screening, taking digital X-rays, or applying a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel. We always customize these services to support your long-term wellness.

Most patients come every six months, but those with gum disease, crowded teeth, or a tendency to accumulate plaque and calculus may benefit from visits every 3 to 4 months. We tailor your schedule to what your mouth actually needs.
