In its most advanced stages, gum disease can lead to gum recession, and even tooth loss. Dr. Martin Urban, DDS wants to make sure it never gets to that point for you and your family! When plaque builds up on a tooth, the gum starts to pull away from the tooth and form a pocket around the buildup, which only leads to more gum recession. A deep periodontal cleaning, also called a scaling and root planing procedure, is used to treat this buildup and prevent the later stages of gum disease.
Scaling and root planning are two parts of a deep cleaning procedure your dentist can perform to help reverse the progress of gum disease. The procedure beings with scaling, which is the process of the dentist removing plaque from the surface of the teeth, all the way down to the gums. Root planing is the term for any minor contouring to smooth the surface of a tooth near the root. When plaque has been removed and the tooth root has been smoothed, the gums that have pulled away will have a clean, smooth surface to reattach to as they heal.
