Roderick A. Garcia a Cosmetic and Family Dentist is a graduate of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and has provided quality dental care for his patients for over 3 decades. Dr. Garcia offers a full range of dental services for his patients including periodontal scaling (gum therapy). Periodontal Scaling is a procedure that removes calculus(tartar) on the tooth and root surface. These teeth will have gum pocket measurements of 5mm and higher. The larger the measurement number, the more severe the periodontal disease. Periodontal scaling allows for the gingival(gum) and bone surrounding the tooth inflammation to be reduced by the removal of all inflammation causing debris(tartar, plaque, granulation tissue, etc.). Removing this inflammation and infection around the tooth helps to prevent or slow down further bone loss around the tooth or teeth. Periodontal disease left un-treated will cause eventual loss of the tooth or teeth affected. Periodontal Disease not only cause loss of teeth but has also been linked to medical issues involving overall medical health. After periodontal scaling, Dr. Garcia will place his patients on a home oral hygiene regimen, prescription fluoride, and oral rinses to accelerate gingival and bone healing. Additional scaling may be necessary 4 to 12 weeks after initial periodontal scaling to remove any residual calculus or improve healing.
