Periodontal Disease Beverly Hills

Once periodontal disease is diagnosed, initially nonsurgical treatment such as scaling and root planning may be recommended depending on the severity of the case.

Under local anesthesia deep pockets are thoroughly debrided, cleaned and the roots are smoothed.

The smoothed planned roots make it more difficult for the plaque to adhere back to the roots and worsen the periodontal conditino. Generally, 2 quadrants are scaled and root planned under local anesthesia in each visit.

In 3 to 4 weeks it is necessary to reevaluate the health of the gums as well as measure the gum pockets. If there is any need for additional treatment, it would be diagnosed and discussed with the patient at this time. We make sure to educate each patient with regards to his/her individual diagnosis and treatment plan in order to ensure successful results.

Disease Prevention

Once periodontal disease is diagnosed, one of the first courses of treatment is scaling and root planning. Under local anesthesia deep pockets are thoroughly debrided, cleaned and the roots are smoothed. The smooth roots are necessary so that plaque doesn’t accumulate back on the teeth as easily. Generally, 2 quadrants are performed in each visit. Oral hygiene is extremely important for the maintenance of the health of the gums. In 3 to 4 weeks it is necessary to reevaluate the health of the gums as well as the gum pockets with the periodontist. If any additional treatment is necessary, it should be diagnosed and discussed with the patient.
