Dental deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing (SRP), is an important measure that can help prevent the progression of periodontal disease. By carefully removing bacterial buildup from above and below the gums, our Winter Haven periodontist can better ensure healthier gums so that patients can smile confidently, knowing their gums are in good shape!
Scaling and root planing is a dental treatment that involves a step-by-step process to improve overall dental health. During the procedure, our in-house periodontist uses specialized dental tools to carefully remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gumline in a process known as scaling. Once the scaling is complete, the next step is root planing. Root planing involves smoothing out the surfaces of the tooth roots to remove any remaining bacteria and create a smooth surface, which is harder for bacteria to attach itself to.
The scaling and root planing process is essential in promoting healthy gums and preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease from worsening. At the end of the treatment, patients typically experience significantly healthier teeth and gums, which can make a big difference in their oral and overall health.
When it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing are essential, but they may not always be enough. Scaling and root planing is a procedure that can help address gum disease, among other issues:
Taking the appropriate steps towards better dental hygiene and health can provide significant improvements for your overall well-being.
