What to Expect When Undergoing Scaling and Root Planning Treatment

Scaling and root planing is a deep periodontal cleaning that can be carried out in our office with local anesthesia to numb the areas being treated. We may also recommend one of our sedation dentistry techniques if you feel stressed about having this procedure. Dental Hygienist will use a scaling instrument to clean out built-up plaque and tartar in your gum pockets. Dental Hygienist will then smooth or plane the outside of the tooth to reduce the number of areas where plaque and tartar can become trapped to prevent future buildup.
