Call Us (770) 273-4658Meet Melissa Gessling, DMD
Dr. Gessling was born in extremely rural Northeastern California. She moved to slightly-less-rural South-Central Montana as a young teen. In high school, she worked in her father’s dental office as a dental assistant and lab technician and decided to follow in his footsteps. She went to undergraduate school at Concordia College in Moorhead, a school that both her grandmother and great-grandmother attended. After graduating, Dr. Gessling moved to Augusta, Georgia, where she continued her work as a lab technician at the dental school of Augusta University. It was there that she realized her passion for helping people and her technical skills could be combined into a great career. She graduated from the Medical College of Georgia and has been working as a general dentist since. She is passionate about life-long learning and continuously strives to learn something new in dentistry. Her passion for taking care of people comes through in all of her interactions with patients. She currently resides in Atlanta and enjoys reading, cooking, photography, and cycling.

Office Information
Q. What is a dental cleaning?
A. A dental cleaning is a routine dental appointment where a dental professional will assess oral health and clean the teeth. During this cleaning, they will remove the buildup of bacteria, or plaque, and polish the teeth to protect them until the next cleaning. This appointment is typically quick and simple for those who maintain regular appointments and follow an at-home oral care routine.
Q. What is dental scaling?
A. Dental scaling is part of a routine dental cleaning. As the dental professional cleans the teeth, they will use a specialized dental tool that looks like a small metal hook to remove plaque and buildup from the surface of the teeth. This process is referred to as scaling.
Q. What is a deep dental cleaning?
A. Deep dental cleaning is very similar to a routine dental cleaning. This cleaning is typically recommended for anyone that has not had a routine dental appointment in a long time or anyone who has excessive buildup on the teeth or beneath the gums. This deep cleaning is also called scaling and root planing, and it goes beneath the gum line to remove harmful bacteria to clean and protect the teeth.
Q. What should someone do in a dental emergency?
A. If anyone experiences a dental emergency, they should immediately contact our dental team. Dental emergencies include things such as knocking out a tooth or experiencing dental trauma. The more quickly our team can assess and address the emergency, the better. Always remember that medical emergencies should be handled by a medical professional. If someone is experiencing a medical emergency, they should call 911.
Q. What should people do in between dental cleanings?
A. To maintain good oral health between professional cleanings, patients are advised to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash daily. Our team may advise you to take additional steps depending on your oral health situation. Also, your dentist may recommend avoiding smoking or any other activity known to be harmful to oral health.
