In line with the conservative approach of Amazing Smiles, scaling and root planning is the most commonly used means of treating periodontal disease. Scaling involves the removal of tartar and plaque which exist on the tooth’s surface. This process mainly deals with the areas below the gum line and those along the root. Root planning involves smoothing down root surfaces which are susceptible to attacks from plaque.

Gum disease can provide great discomfort to patients in terms of bleeding gums, bad breath and even irritation in the mouth. With Amazing Smiles, you can put an end to these problems! Visit Amazing Smiles today to find out more about periodontal treatment options for your oral problems.
