What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection in the soft structures that hold your teeth in place, caused by plaque and bacteria. Early gum disease, gingivitis, may cause redness, swelling, or bleeding when brushing. If it progresses, it becomes periodontitis, a more serious condition that can affect the bone supporting your teeth.
How Does Scaling & Root Planing Work?
Scaling and root planing are deep cleaning techniques that work below your gumline. Over one or two appointments, we use scaling to remove plaque and tartar from around your teeth and beneath your gums. Then, root planing smooths the tooth roots to reduce bacteria buildup and help your gums heal and reattach to give your smile the support it needs.
