Scaling and root planing are advanced procedures aimed at combating gum disease without the need for surgery. This treatment meticulously eliminates plaque, tartar, and bacteria from both the tooth and root surfaces beneath the gum line. By doing so, it stimulates gum tissue regeneration and halts the progression of gum disease.
The duration of scaling and root planing treatments can vary depending on the severity of gum disease and the extent of treatment required. Typically, the procedure is completed in one or more visits, each lasting approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
During scaling and root planing, local anesthesia ensures your comfort by numbing the treatment area. Although some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur afterward, it can be effectively managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and adhering to the post-treatment instructions provided by our dental team.
The frequency of scaling and root planing treatments is tailored to your individual oral health needs and the severity of your gum disease. While some individuals may only require a single treatment, others may benefit from more frequent maintenance visits.
After scaling and root planing, you may experience mild side effects such as slight bleeding, swelling, or gum tenderness. These symptoms typically diminish within a few days as your gums undergo healing. Consistently practicing good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups will contribute to a smooth recovery and sustained oral health.
