Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease. During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth’s root after the scaling process. Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface. These critical steps facilitate the healing and reattachment of the gums to a cleaner, smoother root surface, promoting a healthier oral environment. Our practice is dedicated to offering this essential service, emphasizing precision and patient comfort to effectively address gum disease and support overall dental well-being.
