Gum care
An Ewing, NJ Dentist for Healthy Gums
Gum disease often starts quietly, so this is the care we'd most like Ewing patients to keep up with. It begins at a check-up, where the dentist measures the pockets around your teeth and looks for tartar below the gum line. Plaque is the main cause, and the risk rises with smoking, diabetes, stress, clenching or grinding, some medications and poor nutrition.
Deep cleaning (scaling & root planing)
If gum disease has started, a deep cleaning removes tartar below the gum line with an ultrasonic scaler, then smooths the root surfaces so the gums can heal. It's typically considered when pockets measure more than 3 mm. Local anesthesia may be used for comfort. Deep teeth cleaning
Arestin
In deeper pockets, the dentist may place Arestin, a minocycline antibiotic, directly where it's needed. Arestin
Laser gum therapy
Laser treatment for gum disease can mean less bleeding and swelling, often with only a light anesthetic spray. Gum disease laser therapy
Periodontal maintenance
After treatment, more frequent cleanings help keep gum disease under control. Membership plan members pay $75 for each cleaning, exam and X-rays (up to two a year) or periodontal maintenance visit. Periodontal maintenance
