Procedure Overview

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that is typically recommended for patients with gum disease. During this treatment, the dentist will carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth and roots, helping to eliminate bacteria and prevent further damage to the gums and bone. This procedure is often necessary when traditional cleanings are not enough to address the underlying issues causing gum disease.

At Norwood Dental Cosmetics, our experienced dentist, Saad Joulakh, is skilled in performing scaling and root planing procedures to help restore the health of your gums and prevent the progression of gum disease. By thoroughly cleaning the teeth and roots, Dr. Joulakh can help reduce inflammation, improve gum health, and prevent tooth loss. If you are experiencing symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, schedule a consultation with Dr. Joulakh to see if scaling and root planing is the right treatment for you.

Post-treatment care tips

After undergoing scaling and root planing at Norwood Dental Cosmetics, it is important to follow some post-treatment care tips to ensure optimal healing and maintenance of your oral health. Remember to gently brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove any plaque buildup. Additionally, make sure to floss daily to clean between your teeth and along the gumline, helping to prevent any further gum disease.

To aid in the healing process, rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day to reduce swelling and promote healing. Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol, as these habits can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of infection. If you experience any discomfort or notice any unusual symptoms after the procedure, do not hesitate to contact Norwood Dentist for further guidance and assistance.

Scaling and root planing is a highly effective treatment that removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline, reducing the risk of gum disease and promoting overall oral health.
