At the clinic of Dr. Henry A. Sachs, DDS, your dental health will benefit from gentle and effective periodontal treatments on Long Island. Our practice focuses on conservative therapy because, in the early stages of periodontal disease, the best treatment methods are non-surgical. These procedures remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line in periodontal pockets using a fine ultrasonic tip or hand instrument between the tooth and gum. This is known as scaling and is followed by irrigation with an antibacterial solution. A few weeks after treatment, gum pocket depth is reduced by shrinkage and tightening of the tissue. The improvement can often be maintained by brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings.
