El Dorado Hills Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Performs Scaling and Root Planing and Scaling Procedure to Treat Gum Disease in El Dorado, CA

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum (periodontal) disease that causes irritation, redness and inflammation (swelling) of the gums. It is a stubborn disease that many patients suffer with and left untreated, will cause significant tooth and gum deterioration. Fortunately, two common methods exist to reverse the disease: scaling and root planing. At El Dorado Hills Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Dr. Jonah Hill can carry out the procedure right in the dental office.

Root planing and scaling is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. When plaque and tartar sit on the teeth they provide an environment that allows bacteria to thrive and multiply. These bacteria can lead to bad breath and cause the gums to bleed and become inflamed. Dental scaling occurs with manual hand instruments, ultrasonic instruments or both. A dentist at El Dorado Hills Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry will begin the procedure with a thorough examination of your mouth. Next, a combination of scaling devices will be used to eliminate the plaque bacteria. The objective is to clean between the gums and the teeth down to the roots.

Root planing and scaling is a non-surgical procedure that takes place in the dentist’s office at El Dorado Hills Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry. While the procedure is usually painless, advanced stages of gingivitis may make it easier to numb the area for complete comfort. To allow adequate healing time, deep scaling and root planing is usually broken down into one section of the mouth per appointment.
