On
your first cosmetic dentistry visit, your periodontal condition will be
assessed through diagnostic images and documentation
of your
pocket levels. You will then receive a thorough dental cleaning by your New York City dentist. To reduce discomfort during cleaning
caused by heavy tartar and
calculus buildup, it is softened using Dentsply Sof-Scale
gel. If any pockets are diagnosed we will have you return
after the gingiva have had a chance to heal from this
initial cleaning. Your doctor will then re-measure your
gingival pockets and consider root planing if any pockets
persist. The goal of this treatment is to debride the
pockets and allow for gingival reattachment to the tooth.
