Antoine Dental Center can help with your periodontal treatment in Houston. We offer periodontal treatment for patients suffering from gingivitis or gum disease. If you suffer from red, inflamed, uncomfortable gums, it’s a sign that you have periodontal disease.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”\/\/i0.wp.com\/antoinedentalcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_09F05C3489C3-1.jpeg” title_text=”IMG_09F05C3489C3-1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#43B78D” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Gum disease is an extremely common condition–over 64,000,000 Americans currently suffer from it! Although it is common, it is actually easily preventable through proper dental care and routine professional dental treatments. More often than not, gum disease<\/a> is caused by poor oral hygiene and can become severe, eventually leading to tooth loss.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_3_text_color=”#43B78D” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Scaling and root planing<\/a> requires using specialized instruments to reach the depths of periodontal pockets<\/a> and scrape away the accumulated plaque. While scraping tools are commonly used during the cleaning step of routine check-ups, those applications normally do not involve addressing the areas under the gums as deep cleaning does. With the periodontal pockets cleared of plaque and bacteria, the teeth and gums can more easily be maintained with routine practices so that full gum health can return.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_3_text_color=”#43B78D” custom_margin=”-15px||-16px|||” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n At Antoine Dental Center in Houston, the deep cleaning treatment involves clearing plaque and bacteria out of the periodontal pockets<\/a>, which develop along the teeth as gum disease worsens. At this stage, simple brushing and flossing are not able to clear the food and bacteria collected at the gum line, which makes scaling and root planing essential for recovery. Either a manual scaling tool<\/a> or an ultrasonic scaler<\/a> is used for scaling and root planing. A manual scaling tool requires scraping along all areas of the tooth enamel to remove the plaque there, but an ultrasonic scaler clears the plaque away through tiny, high-frequency vibrations. The two methods can also be combined to remove the largest amount of plaque possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_blur=”32px” box_shadow_spread=”3px” global_module=”354743″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||17px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”tel:%20713-691-8880″ button_text=”Call Now!
