Periodontal Treatments Allow For Deeper Cleaning And The Fear Of Pain Shouldn’t Keep You From Getting Your Cleaning

Yes, advanced gum disease can be painful as well as frustrating.

It also may be a reason many patients in Ft. Lauderdale and the surrounding areas of Broward County will avoid professional treatment. They’re fearful of excessive pain or discomfort during treatment.

However, if you have been diagnosed with periodontitis, it is more important than ever not to skip cleanings and examinations

Effective periodontal treatment calls for a deeper clean, extending even below the gum line to remove stubborn, crusty deposits called tartar or calculus.

This treatment may be the only way to address your periodontitis over time. If you are fearful or scared of a more thorough teeth cleaning, several sedation options are available to ensure your comfort during treatment.

At the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, our main goal (other than providing the best treatment possible) is to provide our patients with a calm environment and a sincere focus on providing treatment that minimizes pain and discomfort.
