A treatment for periodontal disease
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling is the removal of plaque from your teeth, where root planing is the smoothing of the roots surfaces to help eliminate bacteria and speed up the healing process.
By smoothing the root, healing will be accelerated, and the development of additional bacteria will be significantly reduced.
Scaling and root planing is a common procedure if you have periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is the inflammation of the soft tissue as a result of the bacteria present in the plaque. If left untreated the periodontal disease will result in the deterioration of the jawbone and even loss of a tooth.
Traynor Periodontics & Implants provides a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We are well-known for our excellent communication style and warm presence. We are extremely effective with all clinical practices due to our consistent engagement with the innovative, technological improvements in the dental industry. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary. Call Traynor Periodontics & Implants at 203-661-5885 with any questions or to make an appointment for a scaling and root planing procedure.


If the team at Traynor Periodontics & Implants has diagnosed you with a periodontal disease, we will schedule a professional cleaning followed by a scaling and root planing treatment. During the procedure, the plaque and calculus will be removed which allows the gums to heal and the pockets around the teeth to shrink. Periodontal therapy refers to a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques that are designed to treat periodontal disease, which starts as an infection or inflammation of the gums and can result in jawbone deterioration. Scaling and root planing can be a beneficial solution for you if you are looking for a long-term answer for improving the health and aesthetic appearance of your smile.
