What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
At Prime Dental Care USA, we take extra care in providing periodontal treatment that protects your smile and supports your health. Scaling and root planing is a type of deep cleaning that targets gum disease. It's more than a basic dental cleaning. This treatment helps clean below the gumline to stop plaque, tartar, and bacteria from damaging your teeth and gums. Many people ask if teeth scaling or dental root planing hurts. Most feel only slight discomfort during the procedure. A local anesthetic can be used to numb the area for better comfort. Some soreness or sensitivity may follow, but it goes away quickly. You can avoid future dental issues with early treatment. Schedule a consultation for scaling and root planing with our Spring, TX team today.
How Does Scaling and Root Planing Work?
The process starts with scaling, which removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. Special tools or an ultrasonic device are used to carefully clean the tooth surfaces. Next, root planing smooths the tooth roots. This helps gums reattach to your teeth and prevents bacteria from gathering in small spaces. Each session may target specific areas of your mouth based on how much gum disease is present. Periodontal scaling and root planing work best in early or moderate stages of gum disease, helping to restore gum health and protect your natural teeth.

Great place, Dr G is the BEST!!! Highly recommend!!!
Dr. Guirguis, Evelyn, and all staff are very caring, patient, and cheerful. They treat their patients kindly and are always cooperative. Office is very clean and Dr. Guirguis is highly skilled. He’s currently our family’s dentist and we’ll continue our dental care with him. We highly recommend him.
Best experience Ever!!!! I had a bad experience with other dentist, that I would hate going to the dentist, but Dr.G made me change my mind and the staff are excellent, they are really helpful and really nice.
My first visit with Dr Guirguis was very successful. He got a lot of work done in a very timely manner. I’m so glad I found him for all of my dental needs. I was very impressed.
I LOVED this place! Dr. G was great to me and very patient throughout the process since I was a bit scared. I drove all the way from downtown Houston and I’ll do it every time for any dental issue because they were great. I highly recommend this place!
