What is Scaling and Root Planing?
- Scaling: This involves removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline.
- Root Planing: This involves smoothing the root surfaces of your teeth to help the gums reattach to the teeth.
When is Scaling and Root Planing Necessary?
Your dentist may recommend scaling and root planing if you exhibit signs of gum disease, such as:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
The Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing offers numerous benefits for your oral health:
- Gum Disease Treatment: It effectively removes bacteria and calculus that cause gum disease, helping to halt its progression.
- Gum Health Restoration: By smoothing the root surfaces, it promotes gum reattachment and reduces inflammation.
- Fresh Breath: Eliminating bacteria and plaque build-up helps to combat bad breath.
- Tooth Preservation: Treating gum disease helps to preserve the supporting structures of your teeth, preventing tooth loss.
