Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing are non-surgical procedures used to treat gingivitis and periodontitis and to maintain oral health.

Scaling is a thorough cleaning of root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar that may have built up in deep gum pockets.

Root planing smoothes tooth roots to remove bacterial toxins. Smooth root surfaces also prevent plaque from accumulating and promote gum reattachment.
