Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health problem that can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues if left untreated. At Nordic Dental, we offer a variety of gum disease treatments to help our patients maintain healthy gums and teeth. Our experienced dentists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
One of the most effective gum disease treatments offered at Nordic Dental is scaling and root planing. This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and smoothing out the root surfaces to promote healthy gum tissue growth. Scaling and root planing is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure maximum patient comfort. Depending on the severity of the gum disease, multiple appointments may be necessary to complete the treatment.
In addition to scaling and root planing, Nordic Dental also offers laser therapy for gum disease. This minimally invasive treatment involves using a dental laser to remove bacteria and diseased tissue from the gums. Laser therapy is often used in conjunction with scaling and root planing to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. The advantages of laser therapy include reduced bleeding, swelling, and discomfort during and after the procedure. Our experienced dentists will determine if laser therapy is appropriate for your individual needs during a consultation.
