Scaling and root planing
Healthy gums fit snugly around your teeth. As gum disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, gums pull away from the toxins in plaque and tartar, letting bacteria travel farther below the gumline. At that point, you need a deep cleaning.
Perio Daily Defense
The first sign of gum disease is gingivitis: red, swollen gums that bleed easily. Left untreated, gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that collect more bacteria. Perio Daily Defense is a daily at-home gum treatment that helps your body fight the bacteria so your gums can heal.
