Scaling &
Root Planing
Conservative Periodontal therapy or "Scaling and root planing" is a non-surgical approach to treating periodontal disease. Typically the gum tissues are numbed in the area requiring treatment and a combination of ultrasonic and hand scalers are used to remove deposits from below the gumline. Depending on the severity of pocket depth and bone loss around the teeth, further treatment beyond regular follow-up maintenance may be required.
