A Deeper Dental Cleaning: Scaling & Root Planing
Published On: February 13, 2021
Teeth are typically the first thing that comes to mind for people when they hear the words dentist or dentistry, which makes sense—the root word
dent
actually means tooth! However, your teeth require healthy gums to hold them in place.
Did you know gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss ? That’s why it’s important for us to examine your gums just as thoroughly as your teeth, and for you to remain diligent about your oral hygiene routines and cleaning visits with your Lawrenceville dental team.
If You Have Gum Disease
First, know that you’re not alone. Nearly half of adults in the U.S. over the age of 30 experience chronic periodontitis (the advanced stage of gum disease, which starts as gingivitis). Gum disease can be treated, and one of our first steps might be scaling and root planing .
