Deep Scaling

At Green Cross Healthcare, our commitment to advanced dental services includes specialized procedures like deep scaling, also known as root planing and scaling. This non-surgical dental intervention is targeted at effectively treating gum disease, specifically addressing the accumulation of plaque and tartar below the gumline. Here’s a comprehensive overview of our deep scaling procedure:
Thorough Assessment: Before initiating deep scaling, our expert dental team conducts a comprehensive examination of the patient’s oral health. This involves measuring the depth of periodontal pockets, assessing the extent of gum disease, and utilizing X-rays to evaluate the bone supporting the teeth.
Local Anesthesia for Comfort: To ensure our patients’ comfort, local anesthesia is administered to numb the gums and tooth roots before the deep scaling procedure begins, ensuring a pain-free experience.
Precision Scaling: Skilled dental professionals utilize special instruments during the scaling phase to meticulously remove plaque and calculus (tartar) from tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline. This thorough process eliminates bacterial deposits, addressing inflammation and infection.
Root Planing for Long-Term Results: Root planing involves smoothing the tooth roots to discourage the re-accumulation of bacteria and promote the reattachment of gums to the teeth. This crucial step helps reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, contributing to long-term positive outcomes.
Antimicrobial Agents for Enhanced Healing: In certain cases, Green Cross Healthcare may apply antimicrobial agents or antibiotics to the treated areas to further control bacterial growth and facilitate the healing process.
Comprehensive Follow-Up Care: Patients receive detailed post-treatment care instructions, including optimal oral hygiene practices and any prescribed medications. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns, ensuring the effectiveness of the procedure.
Deep scaling at Green Cross Healthcare is a pivotal procedure for managing gum disease, preventing its progression, and promoting overall gum and supporting structure health. Our recommendation for deep scaling often targets individuals displaying signs of periodontal disease, such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession. We emphasize the importance of regular dental check-ups and maintenance cleanings to sustain the positive effects of deep scaling and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
