Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy

Partnership for Success

Good periodontal health is the foundation for a lasting, beautiful, healthy smile. Even when existing periodontal infection has gone beyond the help of just a routine hygiene visit, it can be treated effectively and gently by Drs. Hakimi, Vasanthan and Townsend.

Because our Roseville dentists know that the effects of untreated periodontal disease is the loss of precious bone and gum tissue, the supporting structures of your teeth, they want to partner with you in a effective and thorough plan of action to restore your gum tissue to it's optimum health and strength.

Your treatment may include:

• Local anesthesia- to ensure your comfort throughout your procedure
• Analysis of your home care routine- this helps our team map out an effective plan of action to maintain the health of your gum tissue
• Root Planing- a thorough, deep scaling of the infected areas with smoothing and polishing of the root surfaces to remove all plaque build-up
• Application of fluorides and desensitizing solutions
• Application of antibiotic medication below the gumline- to completely remove all infection
• Purchase of professional, powered toothbrush and/or irrigating appliance

This partnership for health will require your cooperative efforts at home on a daily basis and maintaining a program of regular periodontal visits. We know that through education, effective communication, and teaching you the needed skills to keep plaque build-up and infection from re-occuring, we can work successfullly and happily together to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
