Tooth decay remains the most common oral health problem throughout the world, but gum disease is not far behind. This is why Dr. Cannady and our team at Suncoast Dental Arts offer gum disease treatment in Clearwater. Instead of succumbing to an infection, we can get ahead of the problem so your oral and overall health continues to thrive. Call us if you notice that your gums bleed when brushing or flossing so we can get you the help you need.
The symptoms of gingivitis can be easily reversed as long as good oral habits are practiced at home and regular checkups and cleanings occur. With a deep cleaning, though, we can eliminate bacteria more thoroughly and leave the teeth, gums, and bones healthier than before. Scaling involves removing hardened plaque and tartar before reaching into the gum pockets to perform root planing. This requires special instruments to smooth out the tooth roots to encourage reattachment and healing while minimizing the risk of bacterial accumulation in the future.
With the help of our AMD diode laser, we can reach the smallest pockets of hidden bacteria. As a minimally invasive treatment option, the laser’s concentrated beam of light offers maximum precision, targeting and removing any diseased tissue so that your smile can begin to heal quickly. Also, because the laser cauterizes and sterilizes while it works, there is minimal discomfort, bleeding, and swelling, allowing for greater comfort when recovering at home.
