Scaling & Root Planing in Houston, TX
If you’ve been told you have early gum disease, scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning treatment that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline before it progresses further.
About Scaling & Root Planing
This two-part treatment first removes (scales) plaque and tartar buildup from tooth surfaces and below the gumline, then smooths (planes) the tooth root so gums can reattach and heal. It’s typically recommended when a routine cleaning isn’t enough to treat gingivitis or early periodontal disease.
