Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease is primarily caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar below the gum line, and to remove it, our team can perform a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing. First, the harmful substances are removed, and then the roots of the teeth are slightly reshaped and smoothed out. This prevents bacteria from accumulating under the gums in the future, plus it allows them to heal more quickly.
