Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning dental procedure that treats gum disease and restores gum health. During this non-surgical treatment, dental professionals meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from teeth above and below the gum line.
Scaling involves using specialized instruments to clean the tooth surfaces more carefully and concentratedly than a toothbrush or standard dental cleaning. Then, Dr. Rabeea Afzal smooths out the rough areas on the roots of the teeth, making it more difficult for bacteria to adhere through a process called root planing.
If your smile has been touched with gum disease, scaling and root planing are vital steps in your journey toward improved oral health. Some reasons why Dr. Afzal might recommend dental deep cleaning include:
Dr. Afzal leverages the precision of laser technology to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Unlike traditional scaling and root planing methods, which involve manual instruments to remove plaque and tartar, laser treatments use a focused beam of light to target infected tissue and bacteria. This approach minimizes discomfort and promotes faster healing due to reduced inflammation.
Ultimately, laser scaling and root planing can lead to quicker recovery times and more immediate improvements in gum health, making them a superior choice for those seeking comprehensive care and better overall wellness.
Scaling and root planing is not just a routine dental procedure but rather a crucial step in maintaining optimal oral health. From removing plaque and tartar to addressing gum disease and preventing future complications, this treatment offers numerous benefits that far outweigh any discomfort during the procedure.
