Scaling and Planing

Learn more about the benefits of tooth scaling and plaque removal.

Tooth Scaling

Tooth scaling removes plaque and hard, crusty calculus deposits, also known as tartar—both of which are loaded with bacteria. Sub-gingival tooth scaling is necessary when plaque and tartar are detected below the gum line.

Root Planing

Sometimes after a tooth scaling, the roots of a tooth must be planed to create a smooth surface for the gum tissue to re-attach to. In addition to the planing, your dentist may also prescribe medication to control infection and pain.
