At routine dental checkups, hygiene care in the form of teeth cleanings protect against plaque and tartar buildup. These sessions focus on the removal of harmful debris only on the visible portions of teeth. For patients affected by poor gum health, the concern is that bacteria under the gums and on the roots need to be dealt with, too. Through periodontal scaling and root planing performed by our terrific hygienists, harmful agents on your roots are removed, and the surfaces of these areas are effectively polished to limit further buildup!
When You Require More Than A Traditional Dental Cleaning
While routine dental cleanings provide important protection, they leave areas of the tooth structure under your gums untouched. For a healthy patient, this area can be left unaddressed, but someone dealing with gum disease has problems with bacteria buildup on the roots that should not be ignored. Patients who have a history of poor gum health or active symptoms of gingivitis benefit from a service that will remove harmful microbes from these spaces. In addition to providing this treatment, your periodontal scaling and root planing will polish the surfaces of the roots, which makes it harder for new bacteria to gather.
