If you have a stubborn case of gum disease, Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS at Bayberry Dental Care may recommend a dental procedure called dental scaling that is accompanied by root planing. This form of treatment removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and helps your gums regain health. Root planing and scaling is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it advances into something severe.
During the teeth scaling process, Dr. Kathleen Falsey will numb the gums and tooth roots with local anesthesia, but the process itself causes very little discomfort. Dr. Falsey will then use specialized tools to remove the hardened deposits of tartar from the teeth both above and below the gum line. Root planing involves smoothing rough spots on the roots of the teeth that can promote gum disease by trapping bacteria. It’s important to know that once you’ve completed a scaling and root planing procedure this doesn’t give you an excuse to practice poor oral hygiene. You should always brush your teeth twice daily and floss so that your gums quickly regain a firm, healthy, pink appearance.
