Gum disease is a common problem with implications beyond your dental health. The bacteria that cause gum disease can lead to heart disease and other systemic health issues. Your best chance of preventing these is by maintaining good oral care—brushing and flossing regularly—and by visiting us here at Bonita Del Rey Dental Care for routine checkups. Should you develop gum disease, we offer services such as scaling and root planing, osseous surgery, and periodontal maintenance to help you regain your health. These are just a few of the many dental services that we, as a general dental practice, are able to offer you in one convenient Chula Vista, CA dental clinic.
The first phase of gum disease treatment usually involves scaling and root planing. With scaling, we use delicate dental instruments to remove bacteria and signs of infection from beneath your gumline. During root planing our team eliminates any plaque or tartar buildup from your tooth roots, smoothening them and enabling the surrounding gum tissue to easily reconnect to the tooth. When your tooth root is smooth it’s less likely to promote bacteria growth. Both of these gum disease treatments can restore your gum health and even leave your breath smelling better!
