Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing are advanced deep-cleaning procedures aimed at treating gum disease and improving overall gum health. These treatments target the root cause of gum issues by removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.

By smoothing the tooth roots, root planing prevents bacteria from reattaching, helping to maintain healthy gums and strong teeth. Ideal for managing periodontal disease, these procedures are essential for preventing further complications and preserving your natural smile.
