One of the first treatments our dentists may recommend if you are diagnosed with gum disease is scaling and root planing. This periodontal treatment removes disease-causing bacteria from your mouth, thoroughly cleaning your mouth to halt the progression of the disease and improve your oral health. Call Las Olas Family Dental & Implant Center at 954-859-1199 to make an appointment with Dr. Dennis Sevel or Dr. Jose Antonio Alfonso and find out more about scaling and root planing.
