Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, lasting smile. At Indian Creek Dental, our periodontal treatments offer you a range of services designed to prevent, manage, and treat gum disease before it affects your teeth and overall oral health. From thorough cleanings and scaling to advanced therapies, our skilled dentists in Marion, IA, provide personalized care to restore and maintain the health of your gums.
With early intervention and ongoing support, we'll help you preserve a beautiful, confident smile for years to come. Our top periodontal treatments include:
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning treatment our team performs for gum disease that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. The procedure also smooths the tooth roots, helping the gums reattach and heal. It reduces inflammation, prevents further damage, and supports long-term oral health.
Chemotherapeutic Rinses
Chemotherapeutic rinses are therapeutic mouthwashes designed to manage oral conditions, particularly in our patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. These rinses help alleviate symptoms such as dry mouth and oral ulcers, while helping to maintain oral hygiene and overall comfort.
Cetacaine Supplemental Anesthetic
Cetacaine is a topical anesthetic used in dental procedures to provide localized pain relief. It is available in various forms, including spray, gel, and liquid, and is known for its rapid onset and effectiveness. Cetacaine is particularly useful for patients with a strong gag reflex or those requiring localized pain management during dental treatments.
