Periodontal Services - Root Planing and Scaling

This is the most conservative periodontal treatment. Some patients with pocketing (increased depth from the edge of the gum to where it connects to the tooth and bone, more than 4-5 millimeters) benefit from this procedure. It is performed by the hygienist in two to four visits. It is a very deep scaling of the teeth and root surfaces. We perform this with the hope of minimizing or avoiding periodontal surgery.
