Scaling & Root Planing

As gum disease advances, pockets develop between your teeth and gums. To facilitate healing and eliminate bacteria from these pockets, a deep cleaning procedure is performed. This begins with scaling, which involves the removal of plaque and tartar from both the tooth surface and the area beneath the gum line. Subsequently, root scaling is conducted to smooth out rough surfaces of the tooth root, preventing easy reattachment of bacteria. Deep cleaning allows your mouth to recover and promotes better oral health.

Preventing Gum Disease

While we can help you control your gum disease, it’s generally best to avoid it altogether. To prevent gum disease, you should:

Brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove food debris and plaque trapped in your mouth.

Floss daily to clean the areas between your teeth.

Swish with mouthwash to reduce the level of plaque in your mouth.

Be aware of risk factors for gum disease such as age and tobacco use.
