Scaling and Root Planing

Restore Your Gum Health with a Deep Clean

At Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre, we’re committed to helping you achieve a healthier smile. If you’re dealing with gum problems, our scaling and root planing treatment might be just what you need.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?

Think of scaling and root planing as a super-thorough cleaning for your teeth and gums. It’s a step beyond your regular dental cleaning, reaching areas below the gum line that your toothbrush can’t access.

How It Helps Your Smile

This deep cleaning treatment offers several benefits:

• Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding
• Freshens your breath
• Protects against further gum damage
• Helps prevent tooth loss
• Boosts your overall oral health

The Scaling and Root Planing Process

Our gentle dental team performs this treatment in two main steps. First, we carefully remove built-up plaque and tartar from above and below your gum line. Then, we smooth out your tooth roots to help your gums reattach and heal.

Comfort is Our Priority

We understand that dental procedures can make some people nervous. That’s why we take extra care to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the treatment. Our team will explain each step and answer any questions you might have.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

If you’re experiencing symptoms like red, swollen, or bleeding gums, scaling and root planing could be the solution you need. During your visit to Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre, we’ll assess your gum health and discuss if this treatment is the best option for you.
