Scaling and Root Planing
While mild cases of periodontal disease can often be reversed by brushing and flossing more effectively (as well as attending hygiene appointments at Trinity Dental), patients with moderate symptoms need a more in-depth solution – scaling and root planing. This treatment is essentially a deep dental cleaning. The scaling portion involves Dr. Julovich removing plaque from beneath the gumline, while root planing gets rid of the tough spots on teeth and roots that are safe havens for bacteria. Antibiotic therapy may also be used to provide even better results. With this procedure, our Zionsville team protects patients from periodontal disease and the need for surgical intervention.
