WHAT IS SCALING AND ROOT PLANING?
Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, is a specialized dental procedure performed by our skilled dental professionals. It involves the thorough cleaning of the tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline. The scaling process eliminates plaque and tartar deposits, while root planing smooths the rough surfaces of the tooth roots to remove bacteria and promote gum reattachment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During the scaling and root planing procedure, our dental team will carefully assess the condition of your gums and measure the depth of the periodontal pockets. Local anesthesia may be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Using specialized instruments, we will meticulously remove the plaque, tartar and bacteria from the tooth surfaces and root surfaces. The root surfaces are then smoothed to discourage the accumulation of harmful bacteria. In some cases, antibiotic treatment may be recommended to control infection and aid in healing.
