Worried about lingering gum irritation or persistent bad breath? You might be due for a hygiene scaling near you. At Serenity Smiles, we prioritize both the aesthetics and health of your smile, reaching below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t tackle.
Hygiene scaling is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. Over time, plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, can harden into tartar, which can lead to gum disease if not removed. Scaling involves using specialized instruments to clean the teeth thoroughly, both above and below the gum line. This process helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues.
Regular scaling, when offered by our hygienist near you, provides numerous benefits, including:
Root planing is the process of smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth to remove any remaining plaque and tartar and to help the gingiva reattach to the tooth. This often involves the use of specialized instruments to clean and smooth the root surfaces, reducing roughness where bacteria can accumulate. It helps in the healing of the gums and reduces gingival pockets, which are spaces between the teeth and gums that harbor food and bacteria.
These are fundamental non-surgical procedures used to treat and manage gum disease, also known as periodontal disease (bone loss). If you have Periodontitis or are at risk, these procedures can help restore and preserve your gum health and overall well-being.
