Scaling and Root Planing

HomeServicesScaling and Root Planing

Scaling and Root Planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease (periodontitis) by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline. It is often recommended when regular cleanings are not enough to maintain healthy gums, especially for individuals with signs of gum inflammation or bone loss around the teeth.

Procedure Overview

  1. Scaling:
    • The dentist or hygienist removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces, especially below the gumline. This process targets the buildup that can contribute to infection and gum disease.
  2. Root Planing:
    • After scaling, the dentist smooths the tooth roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. This also helps prevent bacteria from accumulating in the future and promotes healing of the gums.

Why Scaling and Root Planing is Needed:

  • To treat gum disease in its early stages (gingivitis) or more advanced forms (periodontitis).
  • If you have symptoms like bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or deep gum pockets, scaling and root planing can help improve gum health and prevent further damage.

Benefits

  • Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding.
  • Helps prevent bone and tooth loss due to gum disease.
  • Improves overall gum health and supports long-term dental health. 

Aftercare

  • Mild discomfort or gum sensitivity may occur, but it generally subsides within a few days.
  • Good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, is crucial after the procedure.
  • Followup appointments may be needed to monitor healing and ensure the disease doesn’t progress.
