Periodontal Therapy Wayne
Saving Your Smile by Rescuing Your Gums
Your smile consists of more than just your teeth. Your gums are equally important and deserve proper care to remain healthy. Unfortunately, if you notice your soft oral tissues bleeding, becoming inflamed, or appearing red, it’s usually a sign of gingivitis. At Skyline Dental of Wayne, Dr. Henkin can use periodontal therapy to target harmful bacteria and prevent potential bone and tooth loss. Let us help you take back your gum health; call us today to schedule an appointment.

Scaling & Root Planing
Eliminating plaque and tartar buildup requires a process called scaling and root planing, which can help you enjoy healthier gums over time. Performed in two steps, Dr. Henkin’s approach to bacterial removal leaves your gums and teeth free of harmful particles that can eventually cause bone loss and loose teeth. Also, with scaling and root planing, your gum pockets will shrink as the tissues begin to reattach to your teeth, creating a more pleasant appearance.
Antibiotic Therapy
Often used in tandem with scaling and root planing is antibiotic therapy, a conservative solution that reaches the smallest spaces in your gum pockets and eliminates bacterial remnants. Its quick and easy application allows for fast and effective dispersal throughout your gums over several weeks, leaving you with a healthier smile that can be maintained with regular dental checkups and improved at-home oral hygiene habits.
