Our dentist will check for signs of periodontal disease during each of your regular dental exams. If you are diagnosed with this condition, one of the first treatments that Dr. Louis Yang may recommend is scaling and root planing. This periodontal treatment works to thoroughly clean your mouth of disease-causing factors to start the healing process and help manage the disease.
