Gum health is essential for a strong, lasting smile. At Blanc Dentistry, our Scaling and Root Planing treatment offers deep cleaning solutions for children experiencing early signs of gum disease. This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, helping prevent serious oral health issues and restoring gum health effectively.
Understanding Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a professional deep-cleaning technique that targets the spaces between the teeth and gums. It is typically recommended when routine cleanings aren’t enough to treat gum inflammation or periodontal pockets. Here’s how it helps:
-
Removing Deep Plaque and Tartar
Specialized tools are used to clean plaque and hardened tartar from below the gumline where regular brushing can’t reach.
-
Smoothing the Tooth Roots
Planing smooths the root surfaces, making it harder for bacteria to attach and easier for gums to heal and reattach to teeth.
-
Reducing Gum Inflammation
This treatment helps reduce swelling, bleeding, and infection caused by early-stage gum disease.
-
Preventing Progression of Periodontal Issues
Early intervention with scaling and root planing can prevent the development of more advanced gum disease and tooth loss.
The Importance of Early Gum Care in Children
-
Protecting Developing Smiles
Children with early signs of gingivitis benefit from deep cleaning to ensure their gums remain healthy as they grow.
-
Promoting Fresh Breath and Oral Hygiene
Scaling helps remove bacteria that contribute to persistent bad breath and poor oral hygiene.
-
Preventing Future Complications
Timely care reduces the risk of permanent gum damage, bone loss, or the need for surgical treatment later on.
