Scaling and Polishing

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of gum diseases and their various problems. Periodontics is concerned with periodontal health, which encompasses the health of tooth-supporting tissues such as the gums and jawbone. Periodontal health requires adequate oral hygiene and regular check-ups.

Importance Of Healthy Gums

Gums are the building blocks of the teeth i.e. they hold the teeth tightly in their place. Healthy gums are essential for good oral health. They provide a protective barrier surrounding your teeth, helping to secure them in place while also protecting the underlying bone and connective tissues. Any disease or infection that affects the gums needs to be addressed because these conditions ultimately weaken the strength of gums and loosen the teeth. Brushing and flossing on a daily basis are essential for good dental hygiene. Without proper dental care, bacteria can accumulate to the point where they can cause infections like tooth decay and gum disease.

IMPORTANCE OF SCALING AND ROOT PLANING AND POLISHING

Our daily food habits lead to various soft and hard deposits between the gums and teeth. Oral prophylaxis, also called as scaling, is a basic procedure to maintain the oral hygiene, where we basically clean the deposits/plaque/calculus that is present between the teeth and gums, which is not removed with the normal brushing. Also, the various types of stains that occur over our tooth structure due to the varied food & lifestyle habits can also be removed with the help of scaling.

Polishing is a finishing process that removes stains and makes teeth smooth and bright. Though not required, polishing teeth after scaling helps to eliminate stains and bacteria from tooth roots that the standard scale treatment cannot reach and remove.

Root planning involves the deeper treatment of root surfaces of the teeth, so that gums can properly attach to the tooth surface.

PERIODONTAL TREATMENTS

Receding gums, bleeding, gum swellings, mobility of the teeth, food lodgement within the teeth etc are the common complaints that the patient comes with. These conditions are either be treated with the medications (Antibiotics, medications, multivitamins etc) or scaling when they are at the initial stages. In the advanced stages, these conditions are treated with the help of root planing, flap surgeries. LASERs, splinting etc. Depending on the location of the flap and the structures to be repaired, a variety of flap surgery approaches may be used. Avoiding or neglecting these symptoms can cause the lessening of your teeth before time due to the lack of supporting bone.
