If the gum infection is being caused by the periodontal disease.
Thank you for your question.
Deep cleaning or scaling and root planing is the first phase of the treatment of periodontal disease. Depends on the severity this treatment can be followed by a surgical removal of the periodontal pockets or regenerative surgeries. In my office we offer a comprehensive treatment at the first phase, combining deep cleaning with lifestyle changes, nutrition and supplements, use of ozone, lasers, Vit C electrophoresis, Vit C IV, scenar and other complementary treatments. In that way open gum surgeries are not always necessary.
