Restore Your Oral Health With Scaling & Root Planing

We prefer to treat gum infections without surgery at our practice. The most common treatment we offer is scaling and root planing. This two-part process is a deeper cleaning than what you get as part of your general dental care.

Here’s what happens during this treatment:

  • Scaling is the first part. During this process, one of our dental professionals will remove plaque and tartar buildup on the roots of your teeth.
  • Root planing is a process by which we will smooth out the surface of your roots. This makes it easier for your gums to reattach to your teeth as you heal.

Your peace of mind and your comfort will be high priorities during your treatment. We offer multiple sedation options to assure you will remain pain-free while we remove the cause of your infection.

Scaling and root planing has been proven to effectively treat periodontitis. This is a more advanced form of gum disease that affects nearly half of American adults.

Avoid Tooth Loss by Acting Today

Untreated gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss in the United States. Gum disease also has been linked to systemic health problems. People with periodontal infections may be more likely to have heart attacks as well as diabetes complications.

We strongly encourage you to get care as soon as possible if you notice the symptoms of a gum infection:

  • Bleeding gums
  • Red, swollen gums
  • Lingering bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Sore or tender gums

There’s no reason to take a chance with your smile or your oral health. Call LakeCrest Dental at 918-205-4492 to request your appointment for gum disease treatment in Broken Arrow.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

In the early stages of gum disease, it’s common to experience gum tenderness and bleeding, especially when brushing teeth. As the disease progresses, you may also notice chronic bad breath and teeth that look longer than before due to gum recession. It’s important to seek treatment as soon as you notice symptoms to keep the disease from worsening.

We treat gum disease with a two-part deep cleaning treatment called scaling and root planing. It involves removing bacteria from the “pockets” that have formed between your teeth and gums (scaling) and then smoothing your tooth roots to help facilitate healing (root planing). The treatment returns your gums to health and prevents the bone and tooth loss that occurs in the disease’s advanced stages.

Our team will numb your mouth with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout your gum disease treatment. Plus, we use a gentle touch. If you are still concerned about discomfort or feeling nervous, you can also choose to receive one of our forms of dental sedation: inhaled or oral.
