Scaling and Planning at Esher Periodontics
Scaling and root planning are otherwise known as deep cleaning in dentistry. The procedure gets rid of tartar (hardened minerals) that can adhere to your teeth. You may need these treatments if you have periodontitis (advanced gum disease).
Scaling and Planning
Scaling and planning for teeth involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria deposits from the tooth surfaces, particularly below the gum line. This procedure is performed by our dental professionals using specialized instruments.
Scaling helps prevent gum disease and promotes healthier gums and teeth.
Planning, on the other hand, involves creating a personalized treatment plan to address specific dental concerns, such as alignment issues or tooth restoration, ensuring optimal oral health - and just as importantly, a confident smile.
