The patient disclosed primary concerns of unhealthy gums, bad breath and cosmetic appeal. He presented with heavy calculus, bone loss & inflamed gum tissue. Our analysis was active periodontal disease. The patient was asked to start with Scaling & Root Planing, also known as a deep cleaning. Scaling & Root Planing sessions were performed on all four quadrants to remove the calculus, plaque, bacteria and toxins from both the tooth and root surfaces. He was given proper home health care hygiene instructions as well as placed on a periodontal maintenance schedule in office to help promote good healing and to help maintain healthy gums. Since there is no cure for periodontal disease, the patient will continuously be examined and his gums reassessed under our care.
