Restore Gum Health
Fight Gum Disease with Expert Root Planing and Scaling
For those dealing with gum disease or plaque and tartar build-up below the gumline, root planing and scaling serve as deep cleaning procedures to restore gum health. This treatment meticulously cleans between the gums and the teeth down to the roots. It not only removes the agents causing gum inflammation but also smoothens the tooth root to promote better reattachment of the gums. Regular root planing and scaling can be instrumental in preventing and treating periodontal disease.
The Benefits of Choosing Scaling and Root Planing
Opting for scaling and root planing at Centreport Smiles provides numerous advantages beyond traditional dental cleanings. This procedure is instrumental in preventing tooth loss by thoroughly removing the harmful bacteria that contribute to periodontal disease. Furthermore, by addressing gum disease, scaling and root planing can also play a role in reducing the risk of systemic health conditions linked to oral infections, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Ultimately, this deep cleaning improves your overall oral health, protecting against decay and other potential problems.
How We Perform Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a comprehensive deep cleaning process performed by our experienced dental professionals, including Dr. Lala. The procedure begins with scaling, where specialized instruments are used to meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from both your teeth and below the gum line. Following this, root planing involves smoothing the surfaces of your tooth roots. This crucial step eliminates rough spots where bacteria can easily accumulate, encouraging your gums to reattach firmly to your teeth. In some cases, an antibacterial treatment may be applied to further eliminate harmful bacteria and prevent potential infection, ensuring a thorough and effective treatment. Local anesthesia is typically administered to ensure your complete comfort throughout the entire process.
