- Loose teeth
- Swollen or painful gums

- Bleeding while brushing and flossing
- Bad breath
- Mouth sores
Gum Disease Treatment at New Life Dental
Because gum disease can affect your total-body health when left untreated, our team has invested in the right tools, technologies, and experience to restore your gums to a healthy condition. We offer the following periodontal treatments at our Germantown dental office:
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Scaling and root planing (SRP) is one of the most common procedures for treating gingivitis by deep cleaning below the gum line and smoothing the surface of the tooth. Scaling and root planing removes plaque, bacteria, and acid buildup that can cause gum inflammation.
A simple SRP appointment at New Life Dental allows our team to help restore and promote healthier teeth, gums, and overall oral health while preventing all stages of gum disease.
Chemotherapeutic Rinse
Chemotherapeutic rinses are special mouthwashes prescribed to help manage painful mouth sores and dryness often experienced during cancer treatment. These rinses typically contain a mix of medications to numb pain, reduce inflammation, and fight infection. At New Life Dental, we provide chemotherapeutic rinses to provide temporary relief and help promote the healing of irritated mouth tissues.
