What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
Dental scaling and root planing at Kaceli Dental Studio in Norwood, MA is a deep cleaning procedure designed to treat periodontal disease. This treatment focuses on removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline where regular brushing and flossing can't reach. Bacteria in these areas can lead to inflammation, gum recession, and even bone loss, causing more serious dental problems over time. Scaling eliminates buildup from your teeth while root planing smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach naturally. Periodontal scaling and root planing addresses the underlying cause of gum disease, helping to protect your smile and reduce the risk of future issues. Contact Dr. Monika Kaceli today to learn more about this effective treatment.
What Is the Scaling and Root Planing Treatment Process?
Dental scaling and root planing is a thorough cleaning process that can take one or more visits, depending on your needs. During the procedure, Dr. Kaceli carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gumline using specialized tools. Afterward, the root surfaces are smoothed to reduce rough spots where bacteria tend to collect. Local anesthesia is typically applied to keep you comfortable throughout the gum disease treatment. While you may notice some mild sensitivity afterward, it usually fades quickly, making your gums healthier and your smile refreshed. Scaling and root planing can take a bit of time, depending on the condition of your gums and how much treatment is needed. Most sessions last about 1 – 2 hours, and some cases might require multiple visits.
