Scaling & Root Planing
The standard for treating gum disease, scaling and root planing is a two-part procedure designed to target the infection at its source. During the scaling portion of the process, we gently clear away the deposits of plaque and tartar that have accumulated along and beneath your gumline. Then comes root planing, wherein we smooth the roughened surfaces of your teeth’s roots, encouraging them to reattach to your gums.
