Scaling and root planing
Say goodbye to tartar buildup and hello to a plaque-free smile that’s ready to shine with confidence.
What is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical and deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque below the gumline, where regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, this procedure is recommended when gum disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, which is damage to the soft tissue around the teeth.
During the cleaning, the dental hygienist uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup that sits below the gumline and smooths out areas where deposits of bacteria can harbor.
