Periodontal Scaling
Periodontal Scaling at Clean Bite Dentistry
Overview
Periodontal scaling is a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, helping to prevent and treat gum disease. At Clean Bite Dentistry, we use advanced techniques to ensure a thorough and comfortable cleaning experience. This essential treatment is crucial for maintaining healthy gums and preventing more severe periodontal issues.
Why Is Periodontal Scaling Important?
- Prevents & Treats Gum Disease: Scaling removes harmful bacteria that contribute to gingivitis and periodontitis, stopping disease progression.
- Reduces Inflammation & Bleeding: Deep cleaning helps alleviate swollen, tender gums and reduces bleeding caused by infection.
- Protects Your Teeth & Bone Structure: Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Scaling helps maintain strong, healthy teeth and jawbone integrity.
- Fresher Breath: Bacteria buildup can cause persistent bad breath. A deep cleaning eliminates odors and promotes better oral hygiene.
- Customized for Your Needs: Our dental professionals assess your gum health and create a personalized treatment plan to restore and maintain your oral health.
What to Expect During Periodontal Scaling?
At Clean Bite Dentistry, we make the process as comfortable and effective as possible:
- Comprehensive Examination:
Our dentist evaluates your gums and may take X-rays to assess the extent of plaque buildup beneath the gumline.
We determine if periodontal scaling is the best treatment for your condition.
- Scaling Procedure:
Using specialized dental instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and along tooth surfaces.
Ultrasonic scalers may be used for efficient and painless tartar removal.
- Root Planing (If Needed):
The tooth roots are smoothed to prevent bacteria from reattaching and to encourage gum tissue to heal properly.
This step helps prevent further gum recession and supports overall gum health.
- Post-Treatment Care & Follow-Up:
We provide aftercare instructions, including proper brushing, flossing, and mouthwash recommendations to maintain gum health.
A follow-up visit may be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
