What is scaling and root planing?
Scaling and root planing is a type of periodontal deep-cleaning care that may be recommended when the gums and tooth-root surfaces need more focused attention than a routine cleaning provides.
How is scaling and root planing different from a regular cleaning?
A routine cleaning focuses on everyday preventive care. Scaling and root planing is planned as part of periodontal treatment when the team identifies a need for deeper cleaning around the teeth and gums.
What follow-up may be needed after scaling and root planing?
The VSP Dental team will explain your follow-up, home-care guidance, and any maintenance recommendations based on your periodontal health and response to care.
