Scaling & Root Planing

Inflamed tissues are the result of gum disease – a bacteria that attacks the gums and poses a risk of tooth and bone loss. Using scaling and root planing, we can remove built-up plaque and tartar around the teeth and gums, effectively eliminating bad oral bacteria and improving the health of a person’s smile. Once the bacteria is removed from above and below the gumline (scaling), we will smooth out the tooth’s root (root planing), which allows proper reattachment of the gums and teeth as well as less risk for plaque to adhere to these surfaces in the future.
