Scaling & Root Planing in Folsom

During Scaling & Root Planing in Folsom, our periodontist removes tartar and plaque that have formed below your gum line key contributors to gum disease. Using dental instruments specially designed for this purpose, the periodontist carefully cleans the teeth and gums while smoothing out the gum pockets that may have developed. The presence of tartar and plaque in these pockets increases the risk of bacterial invasion. Bacterial toxins can cause irritation, inflammation, and further damage if left untreated.
