If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, one of the first treatments our dentists may recommend is scaling and root planing. This periodontal treatment thoroughly cleans your mouth to remove disease-causing bacteria and plaque and halt the progression of the disease. To learn more about scaling and root planing in San Antonio, Texas, and set up an appointment with Dr. Melody Zamora or Dr. Aissa Longoria, call Zam Dental today.
