Removing plaque and tartar

Non-surgical periodontal therapy is a procedure that we carry out, when possible, to avoid surgery in order to treat periodontitis (better known as "severe gum disease"). Following your check-up and proper diagnosis, these non-invasive procedures are usually preferred and can include, for example, using a laser to allow and help the tissues to regenerate rapidly, thus avoiding surgery. Non-surgical periodontological therapy also involves removing tartar and bacterial plaque which can often be deposited under the gum line or the the gingival margin, in the periodontal pockets, in order to help always have healthy teeth and gums.
