ďƒź Scaling & Root Planting Often wrongfully known as a deep cleaning, this is a treatment for the gums and the underlying bone. By cleaning the root surfaces of the teeth under the gum line the gums will heal and the bone deterioration will stop. This procedure is done to prevent further bone loss and damage in the presence of periodontal disease. This treatment must be followed with every 3 months of periodontal maintenance or the disease will return. Keep in mind there is no cure for periodontal disease. Prevention and maintenance is the key.
