Gum Disease Therapy

Affordable gum disease therapy is provided at the Pembroke Pines dental office of Dr. Saba Rizvi. Correct dental care begins with the treatment and elimination of gum disease. Our gum disease therapy plan includes the following:

Scaling and Root Planing:
The procedure begins with careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets and then smooth the tooth root to remove the bacterial toxins.

Arestin:
It is then that the patient is given a local administered antibiotic that helps fight bacteria. It is indicated as an adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing for reduction of pocket depths in patients with adult perodontitis.

Maintenance:
Once periodontal treatment is completed it is extremely important patients continue their periodontal cleanings on a regular basis. This, along with proper care of your teeth at home and oral hygiene will give the best chance for stopping this disease from returning and maintaining long term periodontal health.
