Periodontal Care

Periodontal scaling or root planing is a technique that goes beneath the gum line to clear out infection and irritants. It can restore a healthy environment in your mouth and help you avoid the need for dental surgery.

Dr. Dewey will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to determine if scaling and planing are called for.

The exam may entail digital imaging as well as a close visual inspection. Our digital X-ray device produces the lowest amount of radiation possible and produces images that allow us to make sophisticated judgments.
