Deep Gum Cleaning

Periodontal treatment or scaling and root planing (SRP), is a deep-cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline.

Scaling involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth and the pockets between the gums and teeth. Root planing smooths the tooth roots to make it harder for bacteria to adhere and to encourage the gums to reattach to the teeth.

This non-surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort and may require multiple sessions depending on the severity of the gum disease. SRP helps reduce inflammation, prevent further damage to the gums and bone, and promote overall oral health.
