Dental scaling is routinely performed to help patients with gum disease and excessive plaque buildup. While a standard cleaning will address the surface of the tooth, scaling goes much deeper. While scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gum-line, Root planing smoothens out the tooth root and helps the gums reattach to the tooth. This is the most common and conservative form of treatment for periodontal (gum) disease. Scaling leaves you with healthy gums and teeth that are visibly cleaner.

Everyone experiences some form of plaque buildup. The saliva, bacteria, and proteins in your mouth form a thin layer that covers your teeth at almost all times. When you eat, tiny particles, acids, and sugars from the food stick to this film, creating a buildup on the teeth known as plaque. The bacteria that lives in this plaque can cause gum disease and tooth decay. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings will help remove the plaque and prevent more serious problems.
If you have healthy gums, the tissue will fit tightly around the tooth and keep plaque out. However, if gum disease begins to form, this tissue will loosen. Healthy gums attach to the tooth just 1 to 3 millimeters below the gumline. With gum disease, you’ll begin to develop deeper pockets. These can fill with plaque, worsening your problems and causing symptoms like bad breath. If you have pockets of 4 millimeters or more, your dentist will probably recommend dental scaling to remove the plaque beneath the gumline and help treat the gum disease.

A deep cleaning is a more thorough version of a regular dental cleaning. Every patient’s level of comfort and sensitivity is different, and local anesthesia is available for patients with especially sensitive or highly inflamed gums.
Depending on the level of buildup and inflammation to the gums, a deep cleaning at Pearl E Whites Dental Clinic can typically take between one to two visits.
Scaling is recommended once in every six months. If you are experiencing any sign of gum inflamation, bleeding gums, bad breath or loosening of teeth a professional deep cleaning may be necessary to reverse the onset of periodontal disease. After an evaluation, doctors at Pearl E Whites Dental Clinic can determine whether a deep cleaning is necessary.
Your mouth may feel sore and sensitive after your dental scaling and root planing but this is absolutely normal. Your dentist may suggest a desensitizing toothpaste to help ease this discomfort. You might get a prescription mouthwash to use after the procedure, as well, to help keep the gums clean. It’s crucial that you use proper brushing and flossing procedures after your scaling to stop plaque from forming again in the same areas.
Dental scaling is a very common treatment for patients with gum disease. Scheduling dental scaling as needed can help you battle unseen plaque and maintain a cleaner mouth. If your dentist indicates that you need a deep cleaning, don’t hesitate to schedule this appointment. The result is a fresher smile that you’re sure to enjoy.
