Doctor Kory Wallin on gum disease treatment
Recent research shows that as much as half of the population suffer from some level of gum disease. It is one of the most widespread forms of disease, human disease, that goes undiagnosed. We make sure that we identify exactly what type of gum disease may be happening in our patients that are suffering from periodontal disease. We have specific treatments to cater to each level. Our hygienists are very thorough, and very fair and honest about the way that they describe and help you understand the type of inflammation or infection going on in the mouth.
We offer the tried-and-true standard of care in treating gum disease, but we do it in a way that I think is more comfortable. Our hygienists are often able to do deep cleanings or gum therapy without shots. We have strong topical anesthetic that make you comfortable enough to get that thorough cleaning that you need without having to undergo the dreaded injections. Our hygienists are able to deliver some of those more comfortable, cutting-edge ways of gum care without too much discomfort.

Gentle Gum Disease Therapy Revives Your Smile
At Silver Leaf Dentistry, our team performs gum disease treatment with a mixture of tried-and-true methods and modern, state-of-the-art instruments. The process is mostly divided into two related steps: scaling and root planing.
We will use the gentle vibrations of our ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque from your tooth surface and below your gum line. Then, we will perform a detailed cleaning of your tooth roots to remove bacteria from between your teeth and gums, reducing inflammation in your gums.
If you are nervous when you arrive, we have several ways to help relieve your dental anxiety. We will also numb you if necessary for optimal comfort.
