Scaling and Root Planing

Gum disease can be caused by a number of things, but primarily, it is the result of the accumulation of plaque and tartar on your teeth. At Bright White Dental, our dentists can see you for scaling and root planing in Garland, Texas, to help you control your gum disease, and even prevent or reverse it. At our office, we use Oraqix® gel as an alternative to injection anesthesia to ensure a comfortable appointment. Call 972-840-6800 today, and one of our team members can schedule your appointment with Dr. Jubliee Goel or Dr. Harpreet Sidhu.

Scaling and root planing is a combination treatment and one of the most common methods of dealing with gum disease, especially in the early stages. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth with a handheld instrument, and root planing smooths out rough spots on the tooth roots, making it difficult for bacteria to latch on and cause problems. This treatment can generally be done in a single visit, and any potential discomfort can be mitigated by the Oraqix gel.
