How often should teeth scaling be done?
Hello there, Root planning and scaling is a treatment done specifically when there is periodontal disease (loss of bone, inflammation, bleeding, or pocket depth of more than 4mm). After this treatment, there needs to be a maintenance program set in place for the patient or recare as we call it every 3-4 months. When a patient doesn’t maintain the treatment, then he/she will fall back to the initial diagnoses. So, regular visits are crucial for any treatment to have a great and healthy outcome. READ MORE
