If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, one of the first treatments our dentist may recommend is scaling and root planing. This treatment helps remove harmful bacteria and plaque from your mouth so that you can begin the healing process and bring your gum disease under control. To make an appointment with Dr. Ilona Casellini and learn more about scaling and root planing in Los Angeles, California, call Swiss Quality Smile today at 310-208-3125.
