What Is Scaling and Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease (periodontitis). Scaling removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the root surfaces, helping gums reattach to the teeth and reducing pocket depths. This non-surgical treatment is often the first step in managing periodontal disease and preventing tooth loss.
