Scaling And Root Planing In Prosper, Tx

Scaling and root planing, also known as a “deep cleaning,” is a common non-surgical treatment that involves the removal (“scaling”) of dental plaque and calculus (also known as tartar or “buildup”) and then smoothing (“planing”) of the roots, removing infected layers affected by calculus, toxins, or microorganisms, the causes of gum inflammation. This contributes to the establishment of a periodontium free of periodontal disease. Special antibiotics or mouth rinses may be used to help extend the life of your teeth and gums.
