Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and Root Planing is a procedure that removes tartar (calculus) from the tooth, especially from below the gum line, along the root surface. Ultrasonic scalers, using high frequency vibration, blast away the hard tartar deposits. Then, special hand instruments called scalers and curettes are used to do fine scaling.

Because plaque is more likely to stick to rough surfaces, the root is smoothed down in a process called planning. This gets rid of any remaining tartar and bacteria.

Sealants

A sealant is a clear or tinted protective coating that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the permanent molars. These teeth have grooves and crevices where food can get stuck and a toothbrush cannot reach. These sealants help prevent decay. This procedure requires no anesthetic and is painless.

We recommend sealing the first permanent molars on children soon after they erupt into the mouth.

We also utilize intra-oral and digital cameras in our office. These images can be magnified to allow us to closely examine and diagnose otherwise unseen cracks and decay in individual teeth. As a result, we can treat minor problems before they become major.

DIAGNOdent uses a simple laser diode to inspect your teeth so that even very small fissures in the enamel can be detected for decay. This painless tool has allowed us to treat patients in a more conservative manner.
