Scaling And Root Planing
Healthcare and Medical
Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning dental procedure performed by dentists or dental hygienists to treat gum disease (periodontitis) by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing tooth root surfaces. This helps gums reattach to teeth and reduces inflammation and bacterial buildup that can lead to further periodontal damage. It is typically recommended when regular brushing and standard cleanings are insufficient to control gum disease.
