Long Island Gum Treatment Dentists

Advanced Dentistry & Implantology have treated gum disease for their patients for many years. We have offices conveniently located in Long Beach, Long Island and Brooklyn, NY.

To stop the spread and further damage of gum disease (periodontitis) treatment should begin immediately. Gum disease can lead to other more serious health complications if left untreated.

The most common approach to treating periodontal disease is non-surgical treatment, which consists of scaling and root planing (deep cleaning treatment on gums and teeth) using local anesthesia.  A vibrating ultrasonic device is used to scrape tartar from the visible tooth part. Harder to reach tartar beneath the gum line requires a curette to probe and clean out pockets which had formed around the tooth. Diseased tissue may also be removed using a diode laser, this laser will kill the bacteria that caused the gum disease and help the healing of your gums. Antibiotics or antimicrobial rinses may be prescribed to help the healing process.
