The procedure gets rid of tartar (hardened minerals) that can adhere to your\u00a0teeth. You may need these treatments if you have\u00a0periodontitis\u00a0(advanced gum disease).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tooth scaling removes tartar from the surface of your teeth that you see when you smile. Root planing removes tartar from the roots of your teeth below your gum line.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who performs tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dentists\u00a0and\u00a0periodontists\u00a0(gum disease specialists) offer these\u00a0gum disease treatments. The procedure is usually done by a\u00a0dental hygienist. Tooth scaling and root planing take place during the same dental visit. You\u2019ll usually need more than one appointment to treat all of your teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who needs tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Close to half of Americans over the age of 30 have some form of periodontal disease. Your risk of developing periodontitis increases as you get older. Nearly 3 in 4 adults over 65 have it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Risk factors for periodontitis include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Diabetes.<\/li>\n<li>Family history of\u00a0gum disease\u00a0(genetics).<\/li>\n<li>Health conditions like\u00a0diabetes,\u00a0heart disease, and\u00a0arthritis.<\/li>\n<li>Hormone changes tied to oral health, such as\u00a0pregnancy gingivitis\u00a0or those brought on by certain types of\u00a0birth control.<\/li>\n<li>Improperly fitted\u00a0dental bridges\u00a0or defective\u00a0dental fillings.<\/li>\n<li>Overbite\u00a0or crooked teeth (malocclusion).<\/li>\n<li>Poor\u00a0oral hygiene.<\/li>\n<li>Smoking.<\/li>\n<li>Stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6706\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d3.png 800w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d3-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What happens before tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Periodontal disease usually doesn\u2019t cause pain. Your dentist may diagnose you with periodontitis during a dental check-up. You may also get\u00a0dental X-rays\u00a0to look for problems like\u00a0cavities, an\u00a0abscessed tooth\u00a0(tooth infection) and bone loss. If you have periodontitis, your provider will discuss treatment options with you. Tooth scaling and root planing will take place during a future appointment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What should you expect from a tooth scaling and root planing treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This deep dental cleaning goes below your gum line to completely remove tartar from each of your teeth, including their roots. To minimize any discomfort or pain, your provider numbs your mouth with a local\u00a0anesthetic. You\u2019re awake for the procedures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What happens during tooth scaling?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your provider uses a vibrating tool called an ultrasonic scaler to perform the scaling process. These steps may take place during tooth scaling:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>A vibrating metal tip on the scaler chips tartar off of your teeth above your gum line.<\/li>\n<li>A water spray on the scaler washes away the tartar and flushes plaque from the gum pockets.<\/li>\n<li>Your provider uses a manual (not powered) dental scaler and scraping device (called a curette) to remove small remaining pieces of tartar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6707\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4.png 1200w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d4-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What happens during root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Root planing is like tooth scaling except it takes place on the roots of your teeth that sit below your gum line.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During root planing, your provider:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Uses a tool to gently push aside your gum tissue and expose the surface of the roots.<\/li>\n<li>Uses the same tooth scaling tools to chip tartar from the roots, making them smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes, may inject an\u00a0antibiotic\u00a0medication directly into any gum pockets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What happens after tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bacteria and plaque are less likely to stick to the smooth surfaces of your treated teeth. Inflammation decreases as your gums heal. Your healthy gums can reattach more firmly to the smoothed tooth roots.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During follow-up appointments, your provider will measure the pockets surrounding your gum tissue. If the pockets haven\u2019t decreased, you may need periodontal surgery. Surgical treatments for periodontitis include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Bone graftingto replace lost bone with bone from a donor or lab-made material.<\/li>\n<li>Flap surgery\u00a0(pocket reduction surgery)\u00a0to make a gum pocket smaller by lowering your gum line.<\/li>\n<li>Soft tissue grafting\u00a0to replace lost gum tissue with tissue from the roof of your mouth (palate) or a donor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6708\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5.png 1200w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/d5-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the benefits of tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Studies show that tooth scaling and root planing are effective treatments for periodontitis. They can keep you from losing gum tissue, teeth and bone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the risks of tooth scaling and root planing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tooth scaling and root planing can cause temporary discomfort while you heal. But the overall risks are minimal. People with certain heart conditions, like\u00a0endocarditis, or who have synthetic\u00a0heart valves\u00a0may need to take antibiotics before getting any dental procedures. Antibiotics lower your risk of a bacterial infection. Ask your dentist and your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/21983-cardiologist\">card<\/a>iologist\u00a0if you need to take this preventive step.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why to have dental scaling and root planing in Iran?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Iran has numerous well-equipped centers and clinics for dentistry services in every city.
