scaling and root planning woodbridge va is one of the most common and effective non-surgical treatments to stop gum disease before it progresses into a more severe stage. This deep cleaning procedure consists of two key steps:
Scaling: Removal of plaque and tartar (dental calculus) from the surface of the teeth.
Root Planing: Smoothing and cleaning of the tooth roots to eliminate harmful bacterial toxins.
The planning and scaling is to remove bacteria and plaque, eliminate tartar, and prevent the disease from advancing.
While most patients find this treatment comfortable without anesthetics, we offer various anesthetic and comfort options to ensure you feel at ease throughout your procedure. Depending on your needs, treatment may be split into multiple appointments, focusing on one section of your mouth at a time.
This Treatment can also be combined with other therapies like antibiotic treatment for enhanced results. Most patients experience improved gum health with this treatment alone.
