Periodontal Probing
Periodontal probing assesses gum health by measuring pocket depth around teeth. Deeper pockets indicate gum disease progression. The probe, a long, marked instrument, is also used in various dental procedures like restorations and lesion measurements.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning treatment for gum disease, involves removing plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces (scaling) and cleaning and smoothing tooth roots (root planing). Comfort options are available, and the treatment may span multiple appointments.
