Scaling and root planing is a highly effective treatment for gum disease. At Cornerbrook Smiles Dental, our skilled team performs this deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth the tooth roots. This helps the gums reattach to the teeth and reduces pockets that can harbor harmful bacteria.
This non-surgical procedure is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, scaling and root planing may require multiple visits. After the treatment, we will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your gums at home and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. Our goal is to restore your gum health and prevent further progression of the disease.
