Gum disease can develop quietly and progress quickly if left untreated. At Euro Dental Studio, our periodontists and team offer scaling and root planing in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, to treat the early stages of periodontal disease and help restore gum health. This deep cleaning procedure is a non-surgical way to remove harmful bacteria, tartar and plaque from below the gumline. Early detection and treatment of gum disease are essential to prevent long-term damage to your smile. Scaling and root planing is a proven, effective method for stopping gum disease before it progresses.
What Are the Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing?
This deep cleaning procedure reaches areas that regular brushing and routine cleanings cannot. It is typically recommended for patients with signs of gum disease such as bleeding gums, gum recession or persistent bad breath. Benefits include:
- Removal of plaque and tartar from below the gumline
- Smoother tooth roots to prevent bacteria from reattaching
- Reduction in gum inflammation and bleeding
- Slowed progression of periodontal disease
- Support for healthier gums and stronger teeth
Our periodontists and team perform scaling and root planing with gentle precision to improve comfort and outcomes. We may also use local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
What To Expect During the Procedure
Scaling involves removing hardened deposits from the teeth both above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the surfaces of the tooth roots, helping the gums reattach more firmly and making it more difficult for plaque to collect in the future.
Depending on the severity of your condition, our periodontists may complete the treatment over several visits. Afterward, patients often notice a decrease in gum tenderness and swelling, along with fresher breath and improved oral hygiene.
Following scaling and root planing, it is important to maintain excellent home care and keep regular dental visits. Our periodontists will help you monitor your gum health and provide recommendations for continued care and prevention.
