0800 282 569Surgical Root Planing is a procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth and below the gumline.
This treatment is typically recommended for patients with periodontal disease, as it helps prevent the progression of the condition and restores oral health.
Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and various other health complications if not addressed promptly. Scaling and Root Planing is a crucial intervention in halting the disease's progression and ensuring a healthy, infection-free oral environment.
Scaling and Root Planing effectively stops gum disease in its tracks, preventing it from advancing to more severe stages.
By addressing gum disease early, you can avoid the risk of losing teeth, preserving your smile and oral function.
Maintaining a healthy mouth contributes to your overall well-being, as oral health is closely linked to various systemic health conditions.
With gum disease under control, you can enjoy improved aesthetics, as healthy gums are a vital component of a beautiful smile.
Before the Scaling and Root Planing procedure, our experienced dental professionals at Auckland Family Dental will perform a comprehensive examination of your oral health.
This includes evaluating your gums, measuring pocket depths, and taking X-rays to determine the extent of the problem.
The first phase of the procedure, scaling, involves the careful removal of plaque and tartar from the tooth's surface and below the gumline.
Our skilled hygienists will use specialized instruments to ensure thorough cleaning, eliminating bacteria and debris.
Root planing follows scaling, addressing the roots of your teeth. This step smoothens the root surfaces, preventing further accumulation of bacteria and promoting gum reattachment.
In some cases, we may recommend the application of antibiotics or antimicrobial solutions to treat and prevent infection.
This step is essential for patients with severe periodontal disease.
Scaling and Root Planing is recommended for individuals with gum disease. If you experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, contact Auckland Family Dental to schedule an examination and determine the best course of action.
