Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Fort Myers Dental Arts, Dr. Jonathan Chouraqui and Dr. Deborah Streater provide scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to treat gum disease and protect long-term oral health.
Located at 12530 New Brittany Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33907, we serve patients in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). Also called a deep cleaning, it removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths the roots of teeth to help gums reattach.
