Scaling and Root Planing in Agra
At Dr. Verma’s Dental Surgery Clinic in Agra, we offer professional scaling and root planing services to treat gum disease and restore your oral health. This non-surgical deep cleaning treatment removes harmful plaque and tartar from below the gum line and helps gums reattach to the teeth.
What is Scaling?
Scaling is the removal of hardened tartar and plaque from the teeth and beneath the gums. This process reduces bacterial buildup and prevents the progression of gum inflammation or periodontitis.
What is Root Planing?
Root planing smooths the tooth root surfaces to discourage future plaque accumulation. It also promotes healing of the gums and helps them reattach firmly to the roots of the teeth.
Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing
- Controls bleeding and inflammation in the gums
- Slows or halts gum disease progression
- Freshens breath by reducing bacterial pockets
- Reduces the risk of tooth loss
- Promotes healthier gum and bone structure
How the Procedure is Done
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia for comfort. Using ultrasonic or hand instruments, we clean the teeth and root surfaces thoroughly. For advanced gum disease, treatment may be split into multiple sessions to ensure thorough care.
Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, patients may experience temporary sensitivity or discomfort. Our team will recommend medicated mouthwashes and oral hygiene instructions to support healing. Regular follow-ups and proper brushing/flossing are essential to maintaining results.
