Scaling & Root Planing
The plaque and tartar causing gum disease often extend past the gumline where you can’t reach it with a toothbrush or dental floss. That’s why we need to perform a deep cleaning that consists of scaling and root planing. Scaling is the process of actually removing plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. Meanwhile, root planing is where we smooth out the roots of your teeth, making it easier for them to reattach to the gums later.
