Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease develops when plaque and tartar build up not only on the teeth but on the enamel that sits beneath the gum line as well. To remove these harmful substances, our dental office performs scaling and root planing. Scaling allows us to clean and disinfect these areas that no at-home oral care routine can reach. With root planing, we smooth out the roots so they can better reattach to the teeth. To complete this treatment, you’ll need to visit our dental office every three to four months.
Antibiotic Therapy
As part of your scaling and root planing treatment, Dr. Patel also provides antibiotic therapy to help accelerate the healing process in between cleaning visits. Antibiotics placed into the deep pockets help break down bacteria not removed during scaling. When you come back to our dental office, we’ll check these pockets to confirm that the treatment is working.
