What Happens During Scaling and Root Planing?
Our team wants to stop gum disease early and give you your healthy smile back, and we work hard to make sure you are comfortable during this procedure.
Your first step is a consultation with our team to evaluate the current state of your teeth and gums. The treatment starts with scaling, which is the removal of plaque and tartar from below your gum line. Next is root planing, where we smooth out rough edges near the base of the tooth and root surfaces so your gums can fit snugly around the tooth once again. This also helps seal the gum line to prevent more bacteria from infecting the tooth.
