Root Scaling and Planing in Long Beach
Spring St. Dentistry provides root scaling and planing in Long Beach as a key treatment for gum disease.
Root scaling and planing is a deep cleaning procedure that goes below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your tooth roots. When gum disease causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, buildup can accumulate in those pockets — and regular brushing and professional cleanings can't reach it. Scaling and planing smooths the root surfaces, making it harder for bacteria to reattach and giving your gums the best chance to heal and reattach properly. At Spring St. Dentistry, we work with each patient to find the right periodontal treatment for their situation. Call us at (562) 420-8578 to schedule an evaluation.
