Most people think of periodontal (gum disease) treatment as being painful and involving surgery.  Actually, there are many effective and pain free options for the majority of patients that do not involve surgery.  Here are the non-surgical periodontal treatment options we offer:

 

  • PerioProtect, the FDA cleared, pain free way of treating gum disease.  For more info on this, read my blog tomorrow and Friday.
  • Laser periodontal therapy.  This treatment offers me additional ways of treating gum disease without surgery!
  • Scaling and root planing.  This name actually sounds worse than it is!  My hygienists use topical numbing gel for this.  For most patients, that works great.  On occasion, we have patients that request or even need local anesthesia to ensure their continued comfort.  If you are just nervous about the procedure I can additionally provide you with nitrous oxide (laughing gas).  And, for more severe cases of anxiety, oral sedation can eliminate your dental anxiety.

 

Our website has even more information on these periodontal disease treatments.  Also, I will discuss PerioProtect specifically in the next few days.  It is one of the most amazing things I have seen in dentistry in my 30+ years experience.
