What Is Scaling and Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from below the gumline and smooth the roots of the teeth. This helps eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and create a healthy environment for gums to heal.

It’s typically recommended for patients with signs of gum disease, such as gum recession, bleeding gums, or periodontal pockets.
