Why Scaling and Root Planing Matters for Your Smile
Understanding Scaling and Root Planing for Gum Disease
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning treatment used to manage gum disease that has progressed beyond the early stage. At Premier Periodontics in Washington State, our experienced team (including the caring experts on Our Team) uses this noninvasive procedure to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar from beneath your gums and along the roots of your teeth.
This helps stop infection and encourages your gums to heal and reattach to your teeth.
Many patients come to us worried about bleeding gums, gum recession, or persistent bad breath, which are often linked to periodontitis. Left untreated, this condition can lead to tooth loss and other health concerns.
The good news? We can help. Premier Periodontics is committed to making sure you get the gentle, effective care you need to manage gum disease and protect your smile.

- Does scaling and root planing hurt? Our Team at Premier Periodontics always prioritizes your comfort. We numb the area with a local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, mild tenderness is common, but it typically goes away in a few days.
- Can I eat after scaling and root planing? Yes! Once the numbness wears off, you can eat—but it’s best to avoid crunchy, sticky, or spicy foods for a few days to give your gums time to heal properly.
- How often will I need scaling and root planing? Many patients only need it once, while others may benefit from it every few years. Good home care and regular dental checkups can help prevent the need for future treatments.
- How do I care for my teeth after the procedure? Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, floss daily, and use an antimicrobial rinse. We’ll give you personalized tips to help your gums heal and stay healthy.
- Can scaling and root planing cure gum disease? It can’t reverse past damage, but it can stop gum disease from progressing. When combined with good oral care, it helps restore your gum health and prevent further issues.
- Can scaling and root planing prevent tooth loss? Yes. By removing infection and reducing inflammation, SRP helps protect the bone and tissues that support your teeth, significantly lowering your risk of tooth loss.
