Scaling & Root Planing
When periodontal disease has progressed to a moderate stage, regular cleanings are no longer effective enough to remove all the decay that’s accumulated. Root scaling and planing is an in-depth procedure where Dr. Murray eliminates plaque and tartar from underneath the gum line, as well as the surfaces of the tooth roots. By smoothing the latter areas, inflammation is decreased, and further accumulation won’t develop as easily.
