Scaling & Root Planing

When you have periodontal disease, one of the first treatments our dentist may recommend is scaling and root planing. Scaling and root planing is a type of deep cleaning in which plaque and tartar are removed from the mouth, and the tooth roots are smoothed to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
