Root planing and scaling are procedures that attempts to prevent the decay of teeth and reverse the effects of gum disease.

Tooth decaying plaque will eventually harden and turn into tartar. Your teeth will become rotten, and your gums irritated by tartar. Scaling is the surest way to remove tartar by scraping it off using dental apparatus. This provides a deep cleaning for your teeth at and below the gum line, something that cannot be done by simply brushing and flossing.
