What is Scaling and Root Planning?
Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease (periodontitis). It involves two key components:
Scaling: The removal of plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and below the gum line.
Root Planning: Smoothing the tooth roots to help gums reattach to the teeth and eliminate bacterial growth.
This procedure is critical in stopping the progression of periodontal disease and preventing tooth loss. However, since it is more intensive than regular cleaning, it requires thorough documentation when submitted to insurance for reimbursement.
