The Procedure Process For Scaling And Root Planing In Nashville, TN?

 

A person’s oral health is a key predictor and reflection of their overall health. If harmful toxins produced by bacteria, due to poor dental hygiene, spreads, gums could become infected, resulting in gum disease. If these toxins enter the person’s bloodstream, then they are at increased risk of systemic conditions such as heart disease, strokes, and diabetes.

 

Scaling is used to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of the patient’s teeth, and below their gum line. Root planing is used to smooth the surface of the patient's tooth roots, removing tartar, bacteria, and other dangerous toxins. Root planing also allows the patients gums to heal, and the smoothed surface prevents new bacteria from building up. Scaling and root planing procedures fully restore the patient’s oral health, giving them a healthier smile.
