About Scaling & Root Planing

Plaque can harden into tartar, which cannot be removed effectively with ordinary brushing. When deposits extend below the gumline, deeper periodontal cleaning may be recommended.

The procedure removes deposits from tooth surfaces and, when indicated, smooths contaminated root surfaces to support healthier gum tissues. Your dentist will assess the gum condition before recommending the appropriate level of cleaning.

Why consider this treatment?

  • Tartar buildup
  • Bleeding or inflamed gums
  • Gum pockets requiring professional cleaning
  • Periodontal disease management as advised by a dentist
