Although gingivitis can often be reversed with improved oral hygiene and professional cleanings, as
periodontal disease advances, more extensive procedures are required to halt its progression. Based
on a complete assessment of your periodontal health and a review of possible contributing factors,
our office will recommend the best options in care. Treatment for periodontitis may include a series
of deeper cleanings known as root planing and scaling, surgical procedures to reduce pocket depth,
bone or tissue grafts, laser procedures, or antimicrobial medications.
