Effective Treatment for Periodontal Disease
‍

Addressing the Root Cause of Gum Issues
‍Scaling and root planing is an essential first step in treating periodontal disease. The process begins with scaling, where specialized dental instruments are used to meticulously remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from the tooth surfaces and from the periodontal pockets. This step is crucial in reducing the inflammation and bleeding of gums. Following scaling, the root planing phase involves smoothing the roots of the teeth, which helps the gums reattach to the tooth surfaces. This step is vital for preventing bacteria and plaque from accumulating under the gum line in the future.

‍A Comfortable and Thorough Cleaning Experience
‍Our experienced dental hygienists perform scaling and root planing with the utmost care to ensure patient comfort. We use advanced ultrasonic instruments that make the cleaning process more efficient and less uncomfortable. Local anesthesia can be used to numb the gums and teeth, making the procedure virtually pain-free. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that you have a comfortable and positive experience, while also educating you on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene practices post-treatment.
