About Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning used to treat gum disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the teeth above and below the gum line, and root planing smooths the root surfaces so the gums can reattach. It is often done in more than one visit, sometimes with a local anesthetic, and is followed by regular maintenance cleanings.
