Periodontal disease, characterized by bacteria laden build-ups and hard tartar, damages the supporting tissues of the teeth. Treatment consists of thorough removal of these toxic materials with ultrasonic and manual instrumentation. The deeper pocketing is treated with laser to eradicate bacteria and stimulate healthy gingival growth. Very recalcitrant cases are treated with highly effective medications. The level of treatment is determined by how advanced the disease is. Dr. Ottersberg customizes treatment recommendations for successful results.
