Dental Deep Gum treatment, also known as periodontal scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical procedure aimed at treating gum disease and restoring gum health.
During the treatment, the dentist or dental hygienist carefully removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, reaching deep into the pockets surrounding the teeth.
This deep cleaning process helps to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and promote gum tissue healing. The benefits of Dental Deep Gum treatment include improved gum health, prevention of further damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, reduction of gum bleeding and inflammation, and the prevention of tooth loss.

I have now visited Twoth on three different occasion... The first time was to take my son (8 years old) to see Dr Counihan for a braces consultation and my son absolutely loved the entire experience from start to finish. In fact, he was so excited and relaxed about it all he wanted to get started immediately.
The second time around, I went to see Dr Counihan myself for a second opinion and found the experience just as good as my son did
Before I found Dr Neil Counihan I had a long history of dental trauma and sadly I repeatedly was subjected to very poor dentistry. I was scared to let anybody near my mouth and teeth. I had lost hope!
Dr Counihan made me the promise, with the right care I can keep my mouth healthy and definitely keep my teeth for the rest of my life.
And most importantly he made me feel safe and listened to
