Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth and below the gumline. This deep cleaning helps treat gum disease and prevent further damage to your gums and jawbone.
- Scaling: Removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gumline.
- Root Planing: Smoothes the root surfaces of your teeth, making it harder for bacteria to reattach.
Why is Scaling and Root Planing Important?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common infection that can lead to:
- Gum recession: Your gums pull away from your teeth, exposing the roots.
- Bone loss: The jawbone that supports your teeth can deteriorate.
- Tooth loss: In severe cases, gum disease can lead to tooth loss.
