Scaling & Root Planning
What is Scaling and Root Planning?
Scaling and root planning, often referred to as SRP, is a fundamental dental procedure crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. At Mayfield Ranch Dental, we provide top-notch SRP services to residents of Round Rock, Texas. This comprehensive treatment is especially vital for patients dealing with gum disease, also known as periodontal disease.
Scaling and root planning involves two basic steps:
- Scaling: The removal of tartar (hardened plaque) and bacteria from the tooth’s surface and beneath the gumline.
- Root Planning: Smoothing out the tooth’s roots to eliminate rough spots where bacteria can accumulate.
