Non
Surgical Periodontal Therapy also known as scaling and root planing or “a deep
cleaning” is often recommended as the first step in periodontal therapy.
Treatment is done by one of our hygienists using local anesthesia to provide
comfort for the patient as the root surfaces in deep periodontal pockets are
debrided to remove calculus or “tartar” and to smooth the root surfaces to
remove bacterial toxins. This may take more than one visit with the hygienist
and is followed up with a visit with Dr. Britten in four to six weeks to
reevaluate the periodontal tissues.
