Welcome to Om Dental Care (Dr.Pravesh Verma)
Experience the delight of a healthy gum through our affordable scaling and root planing services
Scaling and root planing, also known as SRP is a non-surgical procedure performed by dentists to treat gum disease. Gum disease is also called Periodontal disease. It is often caused due to build up of tartar and plaque on the teeth and below the gum line. Infection starts to arise if it isn’t cleaned in due time, which leads to the formation of it. This is where scaling and root planing comes to the rescue to heal this disease.
Scaling - Scaling is used to remove the buildup of plaque and tartar. The surface of the tooth is cleaned, above and below the gum line. Dental instruments are used to brush off this buildup. Root Planing - Scaling usually focuses on cleaning the surface. With root planing ( as the name says) it aims at cleaning the depth of the problem. It includes removing bacteria from the root of teeth and smoothing it. The root is where the bacteria caused due to build up can cause painful infection and inflammation. Thus, root planing’s objective will be to clear it.
