Medicated Irrigation for Gum Health | Central City Dentistry, Concord, NH

What is Medicated Irrigation?

Medicated irrigation is a specialized treatment used to target bacteria in periodontal pockets, supporting gum health for patients with gum disease. At Central City Dentistry, we apply an antimicrobial solution to infected areas to reduce bacteria, alleviate inflammation, and promote healing. This targeted therapy is especially effective when paired with other periodontal treatments like scaling and root planing, creating a comprehensive approach to gum disease management.
