This creates a clean environment that is easy to manage at home, allowing the disease to be eliminated completely.

After your deep cleaning, we will provide routine preventive therapies to manage your condition as your mouth heals. If necessary, other types of therapies like bone grafting, locally placed antibiotics or gum grafting may be needed.
