Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing

What is Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing?
Periodontal scaling and root planing is a non-surgical dental procedure designed to treat gum disease (periodontitis) and promote gum health. This treatment involves a thorough cleaning of the teeth and the areas below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins that contribute to gum infection and inflammation.

Why is it Important?
Healthy gums are crucial for maintaining overall oral health. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth mobility. Scaling and root planing help prevent these severe complications by addressing the underlying cause of gum disease—bacterial plaque and tartar buildup.

The Procedure

Examination and Diagnosis: Before beginning the procedure, a thorough examination of your gums, including measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth to assess the extent of gum disease is performed.
Scaling: During the scaling portion of the procedure, specialized instruments are used to carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, including the areas below the gumline. This helps to eliminate the source of infection and prevent further gum damage.
Root Planing: Root planing involves smoothing the root surfaces of your teeth. This step helps to remove any remaining bacteria and toxins from the tooth roots and creates a clean surface that encourages your gums to reattach more firmly to the teeth.
Post-Procedure Care: After the scaling and root planing, instructions will be provided on how to care for your gums during the healing process. This may include recommendations for oral hygiene practices and possibly the use of antibacterial rinses.

Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing

Reduces Gum Inflammation: By removing plaque and tartar, scaling and root planing help decrease the swelling and bleeding associated with gum disease.
Promotes Gum Health: A cleaner root surface allows the gums to reattach properly, reducing pocket depths and improving overall gum health.
Prevents Tooth Loss: Effective treatment of gum disease can help prevent more severe complications like tooth loss, which can occur if gum disease progresses untreated.
Improves Oral Hygiene: Regular scaling and root planing can make it easier for you to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent future issues.
