Scaling & Root Planing
The Key to Preventing Tooth Loss
Scaling and root planing is of paramount importance in maintaining optimal oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease. This non-surgical procedure involves deep cleaning of the teeth and gums, targeting areas affected by plaque, tartar, and bacterial buildup. By meticulously removing these harmful substances from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots, scaling and root planing eliminates the source of infection, reduces inflammation, and promotes gum reattachment. This process not only halts the progression of gum disease but also helps to prevent tooth loss, as the bacteria that cause gum disease are known to attack the supporting structures of the teeth. Regular scaling and root planing can aid in preserving healthy gums, preventing complications, and promoting overall oral well-being.
