What Is Scaling & Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing is a specialized dental cleaning that goes beyond a routine cleaning. It targets plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, where harmful bacteria can cause inflammation and infection.
During the procedure, we carefully remove buildup from the tooth surfaces (scaling) and smooth the root surfaces (root planing). This helps the gums reattach to the teeth and reduces the depth of periodontal pockets.
When Is Scaling & Root Planing Needed?
This treatment is typically recommended if you have:
- Early to moderate gum disease (periodontitis)
- Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Deep pockets between your teeth and gums
What Are the Benefits of Scaling & Root Planing?
- Helps stop the progression of gum disease
- Reduces inflammation and bleeding
- Promotes healing of gum tissue
- Protects teeth and supporting bone from further damage
