If you develop gum disease, one of the first treatments our dentist may recommend is scaling and root planing. This periodontal treatment works to remove disease-causing bacteria and plaque from your mouth so that you can begin to regain your oral health. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Laura E. Wittenauer and learn more about scaling and root planing in Rancho Mirage, California, call Studio Dentistry at 760-568-9494.
