How can gum disease treatment help you?
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and other health complications if left untreated. At Jacobson Family Dental, we diagnose and treat periodontal disease at all stages. Our goal is to restore and maintain your oral health with effective and comfortable treatments.
Our periodontal treatments include:
- Scaling and root planing (SRP) – A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gums.
- Full mouth debridement – Ideal for patients with significant plaque buildup, this treatment helps prepare the gums for further therapy.
- Antimicrobial and antibiotic therapy – Helps eliminate infection and support gum health.
The sooner we diagnose periodontal disease, the easier and faster your recovery will be!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is scaling and root planing the same as a regular dental cleaning?
No. While routine cleanings help maintain oral health, scaling and root planing (SRP) is a deep cleaning procedure specifically for patients with gum disease. It removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line to allow gums to heal properly.
What periodontal treatment is best for me?
There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for gum disease. During your visit to Jacobson Family Dental, our periodontal disease dentist will thoroughly examine your gums and recommend the best treatment, whether it’s scaling and root planing (SRP), Full Mouth Debridement, or another specialized therapy.
What is the difference between periodontal disease and gum disease?
The terms “gum disease” and “periodontal disease” are often used interchangeably, but periodontal disease is an advanced stage of gum disease. Gum disease starts as gingivitis, which is mild inflammation of the gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease, which affects the bone and supporting structures of the teeth.
Can periodontal disease be cured?
While periodontal disease can’t always be completely cured, it can be managed effectively with proper treatment and ongoing care. Regular dental visits, professional cleanings, and good oral hygiene at home can help keep the condition under control and prevent further damage.
