Scaling and Root Planing: Effective Treatment for Gum Disease
At Coast Periodontics and Laser Surgery, our scaling and root planing treatment offers a thorough, deep cleaning solution to address gum disease and promote healthier gums.
What is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical, deep cleaning procedure aimed at treating gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. This two-step treatment cleans the tooth roots and smooths rough surfaces, preventing bacteria from reattaching and allowing the gums to heal.
Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing
• Reduces Gum Inflammation: Helps decrease redness, swelling, and bleeding associated with gum disease.
• Prevents Progression of Gum Disease: Removes harmful bacteria, helping to prevent gum disease from advancing.
• Supports Healthier Gums: Encourages the gums to reattach to the teeth, reducing periodontal pockets.
• Improves Breath: By removing bacteria and buildup, scaling and root planing can reduce bad breath caused by gum disease.
Our Scaling and Root Planing Process
1. Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your gums to determine the severity of gum disease and identify areas needing treatment.
2. Scaling: In the first phase, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, focusing on deep pockets.
3. Root Planing: In the second phase, we smooth the tooth roots to make it harder for bacteria to adhere, supporting healing and reattachment of the gums.
4. Follow-Up Care: After treatment, we provide personalized instructions for home care and may recommend follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
