Periodontal (Gum) Care

Your periodontium includes the gingiva (gums) and bone below the teeth. It is the foundation and therefore super important!

Here at Lamorinda Dental Care we give the periodontium the attention it deserves! At your comprehensive evaluation and at regular intervals, we will do specific exams to analyze the condition of your periodontium and determine the appropriate type of cleaning to promote periodontal health. This is done visually and by taking periodontal pocket measurements—you know, “3, 2, 3….3, 2, 3”—don’t worry, Dr. Hoang will explain it all to you!

There are generally 3 types of cleanings. A prophy is a regular cleaning, usually given at 4 or 6 month intervals, depending on how you are doing on your home care. Scaling and root planing is a more serious cleaning, one that involves going deeper into the pockets to get everything back to a healthy baseline. All patients who have experienced scaling and root planing in their lives will be on a maintenance program called “Periodontal maintenance,” which will involve a prophy and any deep scaling that is needed.

Whatever your needs are, we are here to help you. We will spend time educating you on your condition and how to avoid getting there again. We will guide you with home care instructions and follow up with you to ensure all your hard work is paying off!
