What is periodontal scaling and root planing?
It’s a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach to teeth. This treatment targets early to moderate gum disease.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia to ensure you feel at ease throughout the treatment. Afterwards, some mild sensitivity may occur but usually subsides quickly.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of gum disease. Typically, scaling and root planing is done in one or two visits lasting about 45 to 60 minutes each.
How should I care for my gums after the procedure?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital. Brush gently twice daily, floss regularly, and follow any specific instructions from our team. Regular dental checkups help monitor your gum health.
Can periodontal disease be reversed with scaling and root planing?
While advanced gum disease may require additional treatments, scaling and root planing can effectively halt early to moderate stages and allow gums to heal, preventing further damage.
