Scaling & Planing
Tooth Scaling
Tooth scaling removes plaque and hard crusty calculus deposits, also known as tartar. Both of which are loaded with bacteria.
Sub-gingival tooth scaling is necessary when plaque and tartar are detected below the gum line.
What's Involved With A Root Planing Procedure?
After scaling the teeth, roots may need to be planed to smooth the root surface. Soft tissue will re-attach itself to a smooth tooth surface.
The Junction Family Dental may also recommend medications to help control infection, pain, or to encourage healing.
