Scaling & Root Planing in Ventura

Periodontal disease better known as gum disease is something that affects many people. Occurring over time or simply as we age gum disease can become a serious issue if left untreated. During cleanings at our office, Dr. Askari will check for any plaque build-up or signs of bacteria in the mouth that can lead to damage and decay.

Regularly visiting your local dentist is the best way to care for your teeth and stay healthy. You may follow the recommended dental care tactics at home such as; flossing and brushing after every meal. Although this is great for keeping your teeth white and preventing severe dental problems later on, brushing and flossing do not always remove all of the plaque and tartar that builds up on your teeth over time.

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical solution that stops gum disease and prevents further issues. As with any medical procedure, the techniques that we use are less painful and less invasive if the gum disease is caught early.

Scaling and root planing is our first line of defense against the buildup of calculus, plaque, and tartar which can harm your gums, teeth, and the bone structure below the gum.
