Root planing and scaling are deep cleaning treatments that target the area below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup. These procedures are key to treating gum disease and preventing its progression.
Deep Cleaning: Cleans below the gumline where regular brushing and flossing can't reach.
Prevents Gum Disease: Helps stop gum disease from getting worse and can prevent it from recurring.
Improves Oral Health: Reduces bad breath and leaves your mouth feeling cleaner and healthier.
Protects Against Tooth Loss: By tackling gum disease, these treatments help keep your teeth securely in place.
If you're experiencing signs of gum disease like swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, root planing and scaling can significantly help. These procedures are designed to clean areas that are hard to reach with regular home care, helping to restore and maintain your oral health.
During root planing and scaling, we will numb the area to ensure you’re comfortable. We then use specialized tools to carefully remove plaque and tartar from beneath your gums. Root planing smooths the tooth root to help your gums reattach to your teeth. The process might require more than one visit, depending on the extent of gum disease.
