Scaling and root planning is a type of deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gum line. It is usually recommended when you have signs of moderate gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. Removing the buildup of plaque, it can reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to your periodontal tissue.

At our dental office, our hygienists use specialized instruments to scrape away any calculus (hardened plaque) on the tooth’s surface and below the gum line with great precision. This procedure allows us to examine your teeth more closely and identify any areas of concern so we can treat them accordingly.

Maintain regular checkups

Once we have completed your scaling and root planning appointment, it is important that you come in for regular checkups with us every six months in order to keep your gums healthy. We will work together to ensure that you remain free of plaque buildup so you can enjoy optimal oral health for years to come.
