Scaling & Root Planing Redding, CA

Gum health is essential for maintaining a strong foundation for your teeth. When plaque and tartar build up beneath the gumline, they can lead to inflammation, infection and even tooth loss. At Norman Family Dental Group, Dr. Aaron Norman offers scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove harmful bacteria and promote healthier gums. This non-surgical treatment is an effective way to combat early-stage gum disease and prevent further complications.

Deep Cleaning for Healthier Gums

Scaling and root planing is often recommended for patients experiencing symptoms of gingivitis or early periodontal disease. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, this procedure targets bacteria and plaque buildup below the gumline.

  • Scaling removes hardened plaque (tartar) from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gums.
  • Root planing smooths the tooth roots to help the gums reattach and prevent further bacterial growth.

By thoroughly cleaning these areas, our dentist can help reduce gum inflammation and encourages healing. This procedure can prevent the progression of gum disease and protect your overall oral health.

Benefits of Scaling and Root Planing

This treatment not only improves gum health but also enhances overall well-being. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Prevents Gum Disease Progression – Removes harmful bacteria that cause periodontal disease.
  • Reduces Gum Inflammation – Helps swollen, red or bleeding gums heal.
  • Eliminates Persistent Bad Breath – Targets bacteria that contribute to halitosis.
  • Protects Tooth Stability – Strengthens the gums and prevents tooth loss.
  • Supports Overall Health – Reducing oral bacteria lowers the risk of systemic health issues.
