\/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bacteria that cause periodontal infections can travel through the bloodstream to other parts of the body.\u00a0 Researchers have found a link between periodontal bacteria and lung infections and heart disease.\u00a0 In addition to removing bacteria, scaling and root planing halt the progression of periodontal disease, thus preventing the spread of the bacteria to other parts of the body.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Aesthetic effects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The purpose of scaling and root planing is to remove tartar and plaque from the teeth and below the gum line.\u00a0 In addition, scaling and root planning will remove superficial stains from the teeth.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Protection of teeth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is a greater risk of periodontal disease when gum pockets exceed 3mm in depth.\u00a0 Bacteria tend to multiply as pockets deepen.\u00a0 Inflammation by the body eventually destroys gingival and bone tissue, resulting in tooth loss.\u00a0 In the developed world, periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Having better breath<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span

make a diagnosis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A local anesthetic may be used to treat the gums, if there is calculus (tartar) present, if the pockets are deep, and if periodontitis is progressing.<\/span><\/p><p><b>The scaling process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultrasonic scaling tools may be used to perform this procedure with special dental instruments.\u00a0 Plaque and calculus are removed from crowns and roots with the scaling tool.\u00a0 Most scaling tools include an irrigation process that can also deliver an antimicrobial agent beneath the gum line to help reduce oral bacteria.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Root Planing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this procedure, cementum and surface dentin that are embedded with unwanted microorganisms, toxins, and tartar are removed.\u00a0 In order to promote good healing, the root of the tooth is literally smoothed. A clean, smooth root surface reduces the likelihood of bacteria colonizing the root in the future.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following these deep cleaning procedures, antibiotics may be administered to the gum pockets.\u00a0 As a result, irritation will be soothed, and the gum tissues will heal more quickly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dentist or hygienist will examine the gums again during the next appointment to determine how well the pockets have healed.\u00a0 There may be a need for additional and more intensive treatment if the gum pockets measure more than 3mm in depth.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please contact your dentist if you have any concerns or questions about scaling and root planing or periodontal disease.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b1c150f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b1c150f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1793c30\" data-id=\"1793c30\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5ca3b1cb elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ca3b1cb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3703523a\" data-id=\"3703523a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f607684 elementor-view-default elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"3f607684\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon icon-calendar1\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89acf3f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"89acf3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Schedule a Consultation<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-144df891 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"144df891\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering <strong>FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.
