Restore Your Gum Health with Dental Scaling and Root Planing in Clemmons, NC
Are you experiencing gum swelling, bleeding, or discomfort? These are signs of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. At Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry in Clemmons, NC, we offer Dental Scaling and Root Planing, an effective treatment that helps restore gum health and prevent the progression of periodontal disease.
Below, we’ll explain what Dental Scaling and Root Planing are, when they are needed, and how they benefit your oral health.
What is Dental Scaling and Root Planing?
Dental Scaling and Root Planing is a non-surgical, deep-cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease, especially in its moderate stages. It involves two key steps:
- Scaling removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth, including areas beneath the gum line that regular brushing can’t reach.
- Root Planing: It Smooths the roots of the teeth to remove bacteria and rough areas, encouraging the gums to reattach.
At Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry in Clemmons, NC, we use the latest techniques to ensure a thorough yet comfortable procedure.
When is Dental Scaling and Root Planing Necessary?
Scaling and root planing are recommended when gum disease has progressed from gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) to periodontitis. Common signs that you may need this procedure include:
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste
- Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
- Deep pockets between your teeth and gums
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to seek professional care at Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry for an evaluation.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Scaling and Root Planing?
- Stops Gum Disease from Worsening: By eliminating plaque and bacteria, the procedure halts the progression of gum disease and protects your gums and teeth from further damage.
- Reduces Inflammation: Scaling and root planing help reduce swelling, bleeding, and discomfort in the gums.
- Improves Oral Hygiene: Deep cleaning removes tartar and plaque that regular brushing cannot reach, leading to better oral hygiene.
- Prevents Tooth Loss: Treating gum disease early prevents tooth loss and avoids the need for more extensive procedures.

What Should I Expect During and After the Procedure?
Scaling and root planing are typically done in one or more visits, depending on the severity of the gum disease. Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure, which usually takes 45 minutes for half of the mouth.
After the treatment, mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur, but these temporary side effects can easily be managed with ozone treatment and the soothing biocompatible gel we utilize. Your gums will heal and look better within a few days.
How Can I Maintain Healthy Gums After Scaling and Root Planing?
To maintain healthy gums and prevent further issues, follow these steps:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
- Floss daily to remove plaque.
- Visit Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry regularly for cleanings and check-ups.

Everything just went beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased with the attention, the kindness, and the caring that I have received here. The people here are wonderful. They’re very professional.
