Scaling & Root Planing
Non-Surgical Gum Treatment This is a specialized “deep cleaning” designed to stop active gum disease without surgery. We carefully remove plaque and tartar hidden below the gum line (Scaling) and smooth out the rough spots on your tooth roots (Root Planing). This eliminates the bacteria causing the infection and allows your gums to heal and reattach firmly to your teeth. The frequency of this treatment depends on the severity of your condition, and we will develop a personalized plan for you.
Strategic Health Benefits

- Save Your Teeth: By treating the infection early, we prevent loose teeth and potential tooth loss down the road.
- Heal & Protect: Reduces gum bleeding, swelling, and bad breath, restoring pink, healthy tissue.
