Frequently asked questions
What is scaling and root planing?
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to help reduce inflammation.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis can often be reversed. Periodontitis is usually managed long-term with maintenance and risk control.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
Many patients with periodontitis benefit from maintenance every three to four months, but the interval depends on risk and response to treatment.
