What Is a Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)?
Scaling and Root Planing is a specialized dental cleaning recommended for patients with gum disease (periodontitis). Unlike a routine dental cleaning, a deep cleaning targets bacteria and hardened plaque (tartar) below the gumline.
- Remove bacteria and toxins from gum pockets
- Smooth tooth roots to prevent bacteria from reattaching
- Reduce inflammation and bleeding
- Slow or stop bone and tissue loss
How Scaling and Root Planing Works
- Comprehensive periodontal evaluation: Your periodontist evaluates your gums, measures pocket depths, and reviews X-rays.
- Scaling: Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from above and below the gumline.
- Root Planing:The tooth roots are smoothed to help gums reattach and prevent bacterial buildup.
- Comfort-Focused Care: Local anesthesia or other comfort options may be used for a comfortable experience.
