Scaling & Root Planing
To prevent advanced gum disease from progressing, we’ll need to remove the harmful bacteria that has built up around and beneath the gum line. Typically, this entails a two-pronged procedure known as scaling and root planing. First, we use specialized dental instruments to clear away the plaque and tartar deposits on your teeth. Then, we smooth out the rough, exposed surfaces of your tooth roots, which prompts your gums to reattach to your teeth while making it more difficult for bacteria to adhere to these surfaces in the future.
