Scaling and Root Planing
Prevents Progression of Gum Disease: By removing bacteria and plaque buildup, scaling and root planing can halt the progression of gum disease, protecting your oral health.
Reduces Gum Inflammation and Bleeding: This treatment helps alleviate common symptoms of gum disease, including redness, swelling, and bleeding.
Improves Breath: Removing plaque and bacteria below the gumline helps reduce bad breath, a common symptom of gum disease.
Promotes Healthy Gum Attachment: Smoothing the tooth roots encourages gums to reattach, reducing pocket depth and stabilizing your teeth.
Our scaling and root planing treatment typically involves two steps:
Scaling: In this phase, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline. This helps eliminate bacteria and reduces inflammation, allowing gums to heal more effectively.
Root Planing: After scaling, we smooth out the root surfaces of the teeth to help gums reattach and prevent bacteria from accumulating in the future. This step reduces pocket depth around the teeth, making it easier to maintain healthy gums.
