What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
Dental scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics that focuses on treating periodontal disease. It targets plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline where regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. Over time, bacteria in these areas can cause inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss, leading to serious dental issues. Scaling removes the buildup from your teeth while root planing smooths out the root surfaces to encourage gums to reattach. By addressing the root cause of the problem, periodontal scaling and root planing can protect your smile and prevent future complications. Schedule a consultation with our team in Newton Centre, MA today to learn more about this effective treatment.
What Is the Scaling and Root Planing Treatment Process?
Dental scaling and root planing is a detailed process that often requires one or more visits, depending on the severity of your condition. During the procedure, Dr. Kaceli will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below your gums. Once the buildup is removed, the root surfaces are smoothed to eliminate rough areas where bacteria can cling. Local anesthesia is typically used to minimize discomfort, ensuring a comfortable experience. While some sensitivity may occur after the treatment, it is usually mild and temporary.
