Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Smiles At Saddleridge Dental, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to prevent and treat gum disease. Our services include deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line, which can lead to inflammation and infection.
Regular periodontal check-ups allow us to monitor your gum health and catch any signs of disease early. We also provide personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene practices to keep your gums healthy. With our expert care and guidance, you can prevent gum disease and enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come.
Halitosis Treatment
Persistent bad breath, or halitosis, can be a source of embarrassment and may indicate underlying dental or medical issues. At Smiles At Saddleridge Dental, we offer specialized halitosis treatment to help you regain fresh breath and confidence. Our team will conduct a thorough examination to identify the cause of your bad breath, which could range from poor oral hygiene to gum disease or other health conditions.
Once we determine the cause, we will recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include professional cleanings, improved oral hygiene practices, or addressing any dental issues contributing to halitosis. Our goal is to help you achieve long-lasting fresh breath and a healthier smile.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line. At Smiles At Saddleridge Dental, our skilled hygienists perform this procedure to help restore gum health and prevent further progression of periodontal disease. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces, while root planing smooths the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching.
This treatment is essential for patients with gum disease, as it helps reduce inflammation and allows the gums to heal. We may recommend a series of follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your gums remain healthy. With regular periodontal care, you can maintain healthy gums and prevent tooth loss.
