Scaling & Root Planning

Understanding Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is an essential periodontal therapy aimed at thoroughly cleansing the teeth and gum line. This treatment effectively removes plaque and tartar build-up beneath the gumline and smoothens the tooth roots. By doing so, it addresses and prevents the progression of gum disease, facilitating the healing and reattachment of gum tissue to the tooth surface.

The Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing

• Combat Gum Disease: This procedure is highly effective in managing and halting the advancement of periodontal disease.
• Prevent Further Complications: By eliminating the root causes of gum disease, scaling and root planing prevents the condition from deteriorating, safeguarding your oral health.
• Preserve Your Natural Teeth: Periodontal disease is a leading cause of tooth loss; this treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining your natural dentition and smile integrity.
