Scaling & Root Planing
Also called a deep cleaning, scaling and root planing is considered the gold standard of gum disease treatment. Scaling entails breaking down plaque deposits along and beneath the gumline – places where your toothbrush and floss cannot reach. Then, with root planing, we smooth out the edges of your teeth’s roots. Not only does this promote faster healing by helping your gums reattach to your teeth, but it also makes it more difficult for bacteria to gather in the future, reducing the risk of reinfection.
