If you suffer from gum disease, root planing and scaling is one of the most effective ways to treat it before the case becomes severe. Root planing and scaling is done when gums have either started to pull away from the teeth or the roots of the teeth have hard mineral deposits (tartar) on them. Here at Top Choice Dental, offer scaling and root planing services that cleans between the gums and the teeth down to the roots.
As a non-surgical procedure, scaling and planing is performed without any anesthesia, (depending on the patient) in the dentist’s office. Dental scaling occurs with manual hand instruments, ultrasonic instruments or both. One of our dentists will start the procedure with a thorough examination of your mouth. Next, an ultrasonic scaling device will be used to eliminate the plaque bacteria with sonic vibrations. The ultrasonic scaling device removes tartar, plaque, and biofilm from the tooth surface and underneath the gum line.
If you wish to inquire about the comfort level of the scaling and root planing procedure, give us a call or visit www.hoptowndental.com for more information. To schedule a consultation with Top Choice Dental here in Hopkinsville, KY, call us at 270-886-8585.
