What is Scaling and Root Planing?

The scaling and planing process involves careful cleaning to remove harmful deposits and promote healing. During tooth scaling, your dentist or hygienist will use specialized tools to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline. Dental root planing follows, smoothing the root surfaces to reduce bacterial colonization and encourage gum tissue reattachment. This minimally invasive procedure can be performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Unlike routine cleanings, teeth scaling and root planing provide a deeper level of care.
Signs You May Need Root Planing and Scaling

Certain symptoms may indicate the need for root planing and scaling. You may benefit from dental scaling and root planing if you’re experiencing persistent bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, gum recession, or loose teeth. These signs often point to periodontal disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to serious oral health issues. Recognizing these symptoms early and making a periodontal scaling appointment can help protect your smile.
Maintain Healthy Teeth With Dental Scaling and Root Planing

Regular scaling teeth treatments prevent gum disease and maintain strong, healthy teeth. By addressing plaque and tartar buildup early with dental scaling, you can avoid more severe complications such as gum recession, infection, and tooth loss.
