First, the hardened plaque and tartar is removed above and below the gum line. This may be done mechanically or using an ultrasonic wand. Then root planing can begin. Smoothing the tooth roots below the gum line help the gums reattach to your teeth.
Especially challenging cases may take more than a single visit to complete. In certain cases a local anaesthetic may be used to make the process easier. When there is a lot of cleaning necessary we may address sections of the mouth over several visits. If life has gotten in the way of tending to your oral health, we at Apple Dental would consider it a privilege to be of service.
