Category | Scaling & Root Planing |
At Genesis Dental, The purpose of scaling and root planning is to remove the etiological agents that cause inflammation in the gum tissue and surrounding bone. Typical etiological agents that are removed through this traditional periodontal therapy include dental plaque and tartar (calculus). These non-surgical procedures that cleanse the periodontium thoroughly are very effective for people with gingivitis (mild inflammation of the gums) and moderate/severe chronic diseases.
