Scaling and Root Planing
Treat gum disease below the gumline
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, affects over 47 percent of adults over the age of 30, with that number jumping to over 70 percent in adults over the age of 65. While regular brushing and flossing work to remove the bacteria and plaque responsible for gum disease, it isn’t always enough. At New Leaf Rohnert Park, we understand how damaging gum disease can be to your overall oral and general health and offer deep cleanings that include scaling and root planing in order to remove the plaque and bacterial buildup under the gumline that is responsible for severe gum disease and even tooth loss.

What is Scaling and Root Planing
Everyday, a sticky film of bacteria and plaque forms on your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are often enough to keep this at bay and keep your teeth and gums healthy. Unfortunately, it may not always be enough. In this case, the bacteria in the plaque that builds up on your teeth causes inflammation in the gums. If left untreated, this causes pockets to develop between the gums and teeth, allowing the plaque and bacteria to settle in, making it impossible to remove with regular cleaning techniques. This trapped plaque and bacteria can lead to bone and tooth loss if left untreated.
When gum disease occurs scaling and root planing is necessary. For scaling, Dr. Eddie Kuo must remove all the plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, making sure to get everything out of the pockets. Once removed, root planing begins. This is a technique that smooths out the roots of the teeth, making it easier for the gums to reattach to the teeth and close the pockets.
