Scaling and root planing is a therapeutic method specifically developed to combat gum disease by providing deep cleaning for your oral cavity. Focusing on the eradication of plaque and tartar lurking beneath the gumline, and smoothening out the tooth roots to hinder future infections, it effectively promotes gum health and reduces inflammation. This procedure targets the direct cause of periodontal disease and potentially saves teeth from loss. For further information regarding the treatment or to book an appointment, kindly contact us.

Key Points Regarding Periodontal Disease and Scaling & Root Planing
For your convenience, we have outlined some points to elucidate further:
– What is periodontal disease exactly?
– How does scaling and root planing effectively eliminate periodontal disease?
– What benefits can you achieve through scaling and root planing?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends maintaining a good oral hygiene routine which includes brushing twice daily and flossing once a day. Adding professional teeth examinations and cleanings to your routine are vital to maintaining optimal oral health. Neglecting these aspects can inevitably result in periodontal disease. But fear not! Beyond Dental & Implant Center can reverse such conditions through scaling and root planing.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease occurs due to the bacterial infection in the oral cavity that leads to the inflammation of tender gum tissues. If left untreated, swollen gums start to recede, creating periodontal pockets that breed bacteria. The progression of periodontal disease can lead to the destruction of not only your soft tissues but also your jawbone and periodontal ligaments. This could potentially result in severe complications inclusive of teeth loss.
But, this destructive periodontal disease can be tackled effectively through a common treatment – Scaling and root planing. This process consists of a deep cleaning for your teeth and involves cleaning both visible and hidden root surfaces. It commences with scaling to eliminate all plaque, tartar, bacteria, and other unwanted debris, followed by root planing that cleans the concealed root surfaces. Afterward, an antibacterial wash ensures no bacteria are left behind.
The Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing
This treatment brings numerous advantages, including being non-surgical and minimally invasive, permitting your gums to recover and rejoin your teeth correctly, restoring a healthy gum line, and slowing down or even halting the progression of periodontal disease. Simultaneously, it aids in reducing inflammation and irritation, thereby improving the aesthetics of your smile and potentially boosting your self-esteem.
