A vast majority of people will experience gum disease at one time or another. If you do, we welcome you to visit our dentist office in Columbia, SC.

We offer non-surgical gum disease treatment at our practice. One important step in this process is scaling and root planing. This procedure allows us to remove plaque and tartar that have formed around the roots of your teeth.

This short video from the American Dental Association explains the procedure.

Make an appointment today at Total Dental Care of South Carolina if you suspect that you may have gum disease or if you just want to prevent it. You can reach us online or by calling 803-272-4162.
