Scaling and Root Planning (SRP) or Deep Cleaning are common terms for this procedure. The most effective technique to treat gum disease is using SRP. The dentist cleans between the gums and teeth, all the way down to the root, during SRP. While the treatment is being conducted, your dentist may need to apply a local anaesthetic to numb the gums and roots of your teeth.
Individuals with gum disease (periodontal disease) should have this treatment done.
Plaque and tartar are removed from the surface of the teeth as well as the pocket between the teeth and gums during SRP. Our dental hygienist will use ultrasonic devices to do scaling and root planning.
Root planning is the final step in the extensive cleaning process. Plaque and tartar will be removed from the surface of your teeth's roots using a scaling instrument by our hygienist. For this treatment, local anaesthetic may be used. A follow-up appointment may be required to ensure that your gums and teeth are improving and that there is no pocket depth.
After the SRP, the bacteria in the pockets of the teeth should be eradicated, and the gums should become healthier over the next few weeks if the person practises daily dental care.
You may suffer slight discomfort for around 24 hours after the treatment. Rinsing with warm salted water (1/2 teaspoon salt in 8 oz warm water) every 2-4 hours will aid throughout this time. Remember to brush/floss the portions of your mouth that aren't affected, but wait 1-2 days before lightly cleaning the teeth that have been "scaled."
If deep scaling and three-month visits to the dentist aren't adequate to correct periodontal disease, a consultation with a periodontist should be required, and future treatment options, including surgery, should be considered.
