Scaling and Root Planning

Dental scaling is a procedure of removing tartar from the tooth surface. Plaque and tartar builds up on the tooth surface which pushes the gums away. This also builds up harmful bacteria ,which leads to gum diseases and eat away the healthy bone (bone resorption).

The most effective way to treat such problems is by:

• Regular cleaning/ Scaling
• Root planning

At Sahni’s, we advise a regular cleaning every six months or once a year to maintain healthy gums. This is a totally painless procedure.

Once the cleaning is done, it is important to maintain your oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day.
