What is Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing?
In this deep cleaning procedure, the plaque and tartar below the gum tissue are removed using either a metal dental tool, ultrasound energy, or a laser. We will break up the plaque and tartar before scraping it out. If the roots have plaque buildup, the root planing procedure will scale them to remove the plaque and then smooth out any rough areas so the tooth can remain healthy and functional. The scaling and planing procedures are generally performed on cases of moderate to severe periodontal disease or gingivitis.
The Dangers of Periodontal Disease
Untreated, periodontal gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bacterial infection, and damage to your gums and jaw. Many patients do not realize that periodontal disease grows bacteria in your mouth and creates a risk factor for cardiovascular and lung diseases when allowed to spread. Extensive periodontal gum disease can also cause problems for diabetic patients to manage blood sugar and create other related health issues.
How Many Appointments Does Root Scaling and Planing Take?
We often break this treatment up into four appointments which allows us to separate your mouth into quadrants and clean each one of them separately. This method takes longer than standard teeth cleaning and your gums experience some tenderness and inflammation. By cleaning only one area of the mouth at a time, the process is more controllable and your gums recover faster.
