Scaling & Root Planing
in Live Oak, TX
Scaling and root planing is a highly effective nonsurgical treatment for managing gum disease in its earlier stages. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque, tartar and bacteria from below the gumline to address the source of infection. By eliminating these harmful deposits, we help reduce inflammation, encourage healing and protect the long-term stability of your teeth and gums.
Gentle Removal of Harmful Buildup
Scaling is the first step in the treatment and focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gumline. These deposits are the main cause of gum inflammation and infection. By carefully eliminating this buildup, we reduce bacterial activity, help the gums begin to heal and create a cleaner environment that supports long-term periodontal health.
Smoothing the Roots for Lasting Gum Health
Root planing completes the process by smoothing the tooth roots so bacteria are less likely to reattach. This allows the gums to heal and reattach more securely around the teeth, helping to reduce pocket depth and improve stability. The result is a healthier foundation for your smile and a lower risk of disease progression.
