Why does gum disease occur?

Sometimes teeth can become so affected by bacterial build up that even the most pristine brushing and flossing regimen won’t help. You can brush and brush, but the calculus and tartar deposits on the teeth, or the deep pockets between the gums and teeth they’ve created, won’t go anywhere without a deep cleaning by a professional.

At Soams Dental CareLearn more about our dentistry, our dental hygiene team in Danbury helps restore tooth and gum health with a special cleaning treatment called scaling and root planing. During scaling and root planing, the roots are cleaned using high-tech instruments deep within the gum pockets to remove bacterial build up. Because the area being cleaned is so sensitive, Dr. GerfenLearn more about Dr. Gerfen makes sure you are comfortable throughout the cleaning by anesthetizing the area to your preferred level of numbness.

How Can Deep Cleaning Help?

Our team offers a modern approach.

Without scaling and root planing, you run a significant risk of developing periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that has been connected with many general health concerns, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and tooth loss. Once Dr. Gerfen and our hygiene team have completed a scaling and root planing treatment, our goal is to maintain the condition of your teeth and gums so you don’t run the risk of periodontal disease in the future. Regular hygiene checkups and cleanings will be recommended based on each patient’s individual needs.
