One of the first treatments our periodontist may recommend if you are diagnosed with gum disease is scaling and root planing. This treatment works to remove harmful bacteria and plaque from your mouth, and it is performed using the Cavitron ultrasonic scaler to ensure the most precise and thorough cleaning of your mouth possible. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Glenn Roeder and learn more about scaling and root planing in Los Angeles, California, call Calm Dental today at 213-624-3333.
