Understanding Root Planning and Deep Scaling

By Ruth Kuyon


As all doctors and dentist mention, the procedure of cleaning your teeth is important on a daily basis. If plaque or tartar is left on the teeth, it becomes the perfect breeding ground for bacteria to thrive and breed. The outcome is that your gums get soft and start bleeding easily. It is very easily noticeable especially any time you cleaning you teeth or brushing. This is the early stage of Gingivitis. It is bets to seek an appointment with the dentist and remove the concern before the issue escalates. The dentist will begin the teeth cleaning procedure by scaling and then polishing them. In most situations, an anti-bacterial mouthwash is also recommended while teaching you the proper strategy to floss and brush your teeth effectively. By the time most people reach the age of 30s, they've some sort of gum or teeth related illnesses.

If this gum disease is not treated in time, there are probabilities of serious inflammation towards the base of the teeth and that can lead to more infection as the bacteria breeds without having a check. This causes much more harm. The only problem that most people realize later in life is that by ignoring the bacterial growth, the teeth become loose as the support structure of the tooth, the bone begins to erode. And usually there are no symptoms at all, even when it is pretty severe. As the damage is irreversible, it is actually best to catch it in time.

Your dentist might recommend root planning and scaling to make sure that the teeth cleaning procedure is completed. The procedure of scaling generally refers to removing the tartar from the tooth surface while root planning smoothens and removes any infected tooth structure. In case you have gum illness that consists of gum pockets around the teeth, the tartar collects in them, increasing the probabilities of infections. Both of the processes work to clean the teeth, eliminate tartar and assure that the teeth remain smooth.

The level of pain varies from individual to individual but depending on the severity of the root surface and amount of tartar collection, the dentist may possibly give a mild local anesthesia. However, it is actually best that you speak to your dentist about managing the pain or discomfort. Some dentists use non-inject able topical anesthetic gel that only numbs the gum pockets avoiding the numbing of cheek and lips. However, if the tartar pockets are not too deep, there may possibly not be any discomfort. The only feeling that you might endure would be the feeling of scrapping which is a purely physical feeling. The root planed tooth has a improved chance of allowing the tissues of the gum to heal and some deep gum pockets are naturally reduced right after a deep cleaning method.

Well, if you need to know how long it takes, you may need to ask your dentist. It is definitely not done and completed in 1 sitting. The entire procedure is broken down and partially completed in stages as per appointment. So you may ask the dentist prior to fixing up the appointments.
