Your Solution for Gum Health – Scaling and Root Planing
Are you experiencing symptoms like swollen gums, bad breath, or bleeding while brushing? These could be warning signs of gum disease. At Portal Dental Care, we offer an effective solution: Scaling and Root Planing (SRP).
What is Scaling and Root Planing?
Often abbreviated as SRP, this is a deep-cleaning, non-surgical procedure that targets the root cause of gum disease. The treatment involves two primary steps: scaling, where plaque and tartar are meticulously removed from below the gumline, and root planing, where the tooth roots are smoothed to encourage reattachment of the gums.
The Benefits of SRP
This procedure goes beyond a standard cleaning to treat advanced gum disease, offering the following benefits:
- Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Promotion of gum reattachment
- Improvement in bad breath caused by bacterial buildup
The SRP Process at Portal Dental Care
At Portal Dental Care, your comfort is our priority. The SRP procedure is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Our dental team employs state-of-the-art tools to ensure a thorough cleaning and optimal results.
Post-procedure Care
After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort and gum sensitivity. We will provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines, which often include using a medicated mouthwash and avoiding certain types of food.
