At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide scaling and root planing—a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure helps remove harmful bacteria, restore gum health, and prevent further damage to your teeth and supporting structures.
Early treatment can stop gum disease from progressing and protect your long-term oral health.
Scaling and root planing is a deep dental cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from both above and below the gum line. It also smooths the roots of your teeth to help gums heal and reattach properly.
Unlike a regular clean, this treatment targets bacteria deep beneath the gums where brushing and flossing cannot reach.
After your treatment:
Gums may feel slightly tender or sensitive
Avoid very hard or hot foods for a short time
Maintain good oral hygiene
Attend follow-up appointments
Together, these steps create a clean and healthy environment for your gums to recover.
