Whenever possible, our dentist and team will try to help you fight gum disease with things such as changes in personal habits or an improved home care routine. We may also suggest using scaling and root planing, depending on the severity of your condition. But if your periodontal disease is more advanced, you may need to see Dr. George Hilal for a gingivectomy in Odessa, Texas. To schedule an appointment at Advanced Periodontics & Implant Dentistry to see if this treatment is right for you, call our office at 432-538-3318 today.
