Calculus and tarter can build up underneath the gums. This buildup causes gingivitis. As the inflammation spreads and reaches the bone around the teeth, it begins to erode the bone away, a condition known as periodontitis. If the condition isn’t fixed, it leads to the teeth becoming more and more loose until they eventually fall out.

The great news is that this process can be stopped with a deep cleaning! We’ll numb the gums to make the process comfortable, and use our ultrasonic instruments to remove the buildup on and under the gums. We’ll take before and after xrays to make sure all of the buildup was removed, and we’ll take full pocket depth chartings to make sure we see continual improvement in your health.
