Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment
AAP
treatment guidelines stress that periodontal health should be achieved
in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. This is often
accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment, including
scaling and root planing (a careful cleaning of the root surfaces
to remove plaque and calculus [tartar] from deep periodontal pockets
and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins), followed
by adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials and host
modulation, as needed on a case-by-case basis. Most periodontists
would agree that after scaling and root planing, many patients do
not require any further active treatment, including surgical therapy.
For those patients with deep residual pockets that do not heal with deep cleaning alone we offer laser pocket reduction which can actually stimulate the body to grow new bone! This treatment is unique and is only offered in a few technologically advanced practices.
At Biologic Dentistry, we utilize the HydroFloss® System to reduce
tartar and bacterial buildup 64% better than other technology on the
market.Hydrofloss uses Hydromagnetic oral irrigationand combines
Magneto- hydrodynamics with oral irrigation.

Magnetohydrodynamics reverses the water's ionic polarity at the molecular
level, which in turn reduces surface tension and inhibits the ability
of the bacteria to attach to the tooth surface and prevents the formation
of calculus (tartar).It's not JUST water pressure like the leading oral
irrigator. The HydroFloss uses magnetic technology to create a magnetic shield on the tooth to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar. No other instrument can do this.
In conjunction
with the HydroFloss System, Biologic Dentistry uses Tooth & Gum
Tonic, Toothpaste, antiseptic oral rinse and dentrifice. These products
have been developed by the Dental Herb Company and are formulated
with natural herbal extracts and pure essential oils.This formula
helps eliminate offending bacteria and quickly soothes, heals, and enables
the body to naturally rebuild and maintain periodontal tissues. In
addition to periodontal benefits, clinical trials have proven that
the professional strength formulations are more effective for treating
halitosis (bad breath) than any currently available product. Both
systems are available for purchase at our office for ongoing in-home
periodontal care as well!
