Scaling and root planing is a deep dental cleaning below the gum line most often used to treat or prevent gum disease.
Usually, a good cleaning and polishing at our dentists and a good oral care routine at home is enough to ward off disease and other dental conditions. Sometimes, though, we may recommend a deeper clean with scaling and root planing.
