Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-step process that we suggest for patients suffering from the harmful effects of gum disease, such as bleeding and receding gums. First, we will clear all of the plaque and tartar from your teeth, as far down as the pockets of your gums. This will help limit the prevalence of harmful oral bacteria. Then, we’ll smooth out the roots of the teeth to allow the gums to healthily reattach, providing them with protection from any lingering bacteria.
Gum Disease Maintenance
With routine checkups and cleanings and daily at-home maintenance, many patients are able to reverse their symptoms of gum disease and restore the health of their smile. We’re happy to provide you with tips and product recommendations to help ward off the threat of harmful oral bacteria and keep the foundation of your smile as healthy as possible. We’ll also provide you with some tips after your scaling and root planing procedure to preserve the health of your oral tissues.
