Scaling & Root Planing in Grove City
When routine cleanings aren't enough, scaling and root planing offers the deeper care your gums may need. At Pinnacle Dental, we use this non-surgical treatment to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, helping prevent the progression of gum disease. Dr. Megan Kottman and our experienced team provide treatment in a supportive, comfortable setting so you know what to expect at every step.
What Is Scaling & Root Planing?
Scaling & root planing (sometimes called a "deep cleaning") is a two-step periodontal procedure. Scaling removes hardened deposits above and below the gumline. Root planing then smooths the tooth roots, making it easier for the gums to heal and reattach.
Our patients benefit from this treatment because it:
- Stops Gum Disease: Helps prevent gingivitis from advancing into periodontitis.
- Restores Comfort: Reduces bleeding, swelling, and gum tenderness.
- Supports Whole-Body Health: Clearing harmful bacteria improves oral and overall wellness.
These appointments usually take one or two visits, depending on how deep the gum pockets are.
