Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a procedure used to treat periodontitis. This advanced stage of gum disease is detrimental to the health of your teeth and your gums. As the condition spreads below the gum line, it can no longer be controlled with routine brushing and flossing.

Scaling and root planing is performed by a deep cleaning performed below the gum line. 

  • Our dental experts use tools to scrape away the accumulation of plaque and tartar that has formed in pockets under the gums. 
  • We are then able to smooth out the bone along with the roots of the teeth, eliminating pits and craters presenting space for bacteria to thrive. 
  • This gives the gums an opportunity to reattach to the tooth root, preventing the worsening of the disease.
