Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling is a fundamental part of our periodontal care services at Bryn Mawr Periodontal Associates Ltd. Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line. This thorough cleaning helps to prevent and treat gum disease by eliminating the buildup of harmful bacteria that can lead to inflammation and infection. By performing scaling regularly as part of your dental hygiene routine, we can help you maintain optimal oral health and prevent the progression of gum disease.

Root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy offered at Bryn Mawr Periodontal Associates Ltd to treat gum disease and restore gum health. During this procedure, our skilled hygienists meticulously clean the roots of your teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that have accumulated below the gumline. By smoothing the root surfaces, we help to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection, allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth. Root planing is an essential part of managing gum disease and preventing its progression, and our team is dedicated to providing thorough and effective treatment to support your oral health.
