At Prairie Hawk Dental in Castle Rock, CO, we strive to help our patients maintain optimal oral health and retain all their original teeth. By offering scaling and root planing to treat early gum disease, Dr. Aaron Goodman can restore your health and save your smile in a noninvasive way.
Scaling and root planing is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it develops into more serious periodontal disease. The procedure allows the dentist to clean between your gums and teeth all the way down to the roots in order to smooth the root structure and remove the tartar that is causing your inflammation.
A local anesthetic is sometimes used to numb your gums for the procedure, and some dentists will use an ultrasonic tool for the planing and scaling, which can be more comfortable than a standard scraping tool, but it is not always necessary.

The procedure is an incredibly effective and can stop the progression of gum disease before it irreversibly damages your teeth. However, if you don’t
maintain proper dental care after the procedure, the gum disease can continue
to spread. Patients should quit smoking and receive frequent cleanings to
ensure that there gums stay healthy.
