At Peña Adobe Dental Advanced Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry in Vacaville, scaling and root planing is a highly effective treatment for patients dealing with gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure goes beyond your regular cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gum line. Scaling involves cleaning the surfaces of your teeth, while root planing smooths the roots to prevent bacteria from reattaching. This treatment is designed to help restore gum health, reduce inflammation, and prevent the progression of gum disease, giving you a fresh start for your oral care.
Scaling and root planing is recommended for patients with early to moderate stages of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). If you have gum inflammation, bleeding while brushing, or pockets forming between your teeth and gums, this procedure may be necessary to stop the disease from progressing. This deep cleaning is ideal for patients who have not responded to regular cleanings or those at risk for severe gum disease. Whether you’re dealing with signs of gum disease or just want to ensure your gums stay healthy, scaling and root planing at Peña Adobe Dental Advanced Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry in Vacaville can help.
