Scaling and Root Planing

Evelina Tolchinsky, DDS, DDS

Scaling and root planing are basic procedures dentists utilize to defend against gum disease. Commonly referred to as a “deep cleaning,” Dr. Tolchinsky and Dr. Trogan remove otherwise difficult to clean plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and gums of our patients before it can lead to bigger issues.By cleaning between your teeth and gums, all the way down to the root, scaling and root planing help to clean areas that normal brushing and flossing can’t reach, promoting a healthy and firm gum line.
