Frequently Asked Questions

What is periodontal scaling and why is it necessary?

Periodontal scaling is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth and below the gum line. It’s needed when regular cleaning can’t manage gum disease effectively. This treatment helps stop gum disease from getting worse, reduces swelling, and promotes healthier gums and teeth.

How long does a periodontal scaling procedure take?

The time needed for periodontal scaling depends on how serious the gum disease is and how many teeth are affected. Usually, it takes about 1 to 2 hours for each quarter of your mouth. Some patients might need more than one appointment to finish the whole treatment.

Is periodontal scaling painful?

Periodontal scaling isn’t usually painful because we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. You might feel some sensitivity or discomfort for a few days after the procedure, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help. At Kind Dental of La Mesa, we make sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process.
