Dental Prophylaxis
A form of non-surgical periodontal (gum) therapy where tooth surface irritants (plaque and calculus) are removed manually or mechanically. The objective is to maintain periodontal health and to prevent disease.

Scaling and Root Planing
Another form of non-surgical periodontal therapy where instrumentation of the crown and root of the tooth are necessary to remove irritants, toxins and microorganisms that have created inflammation, and/or bone loss. The objective is to arrest or slow the progression of periodontal disease. In advanced cases it is to prepare the tissue for more complex surgical therapy.

Chemotherapy
This is an adjunctive treatment to the dental prophylaxis and scaling and root planing appointments. Chemotherapy includes placing a localized antibiotic (continued press NEXT)
