Deep Cleaning for Gum Disease Prevention

​

Scaling, or deep cleaning, is the essential initial treatment for periodontal disease. Dr. Asghar offers gentle scaling using specialized instruments to reach underneath the gum line and flush out developing bacteria.

This procedure is a safe and effective preventative step to avoid more serious infections or invasive surgery. Patients with diabetes or high blood pressure are often at a higher risk for gum disease and benefit greatly from this treatment. Catching a gum infection early is vital to preventing bone reduction and tooth loss.
