This treatment goes beyond a regular dental cleaning. It removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots so gums can heal and reattach properly.

What Is Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar from the teeth and beneath the gums. Root planing smooths the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from sticking and to help the gums heal.

This treatment helps reduce inflammation, bleeding, and infection. It also prevents gum disease from getting worse and protects the bone that supports your teeth.

When Is Deep Cleaning Needed

You may need scaling and root planing if you have:

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Gum infection
  • Deep gum pockets
  • Bad breath that does not go away
  • Gum recession
  • Early to moderate gum disease

Our dental team will examine your gums and recommend the right treatment for your condition.
