Scaling and root planing for your sensitive teeth. Gingivitis is a harmful disease that gets worse over time and can cause lasting damage if left untreated. If you’re starting to show symptoms, call one of our San Diego locations to set up an exam as soon as possible. SRP treatment at Dental Express is one of the most effective ways to eliminate gingivitis and make your smile healthy again.
Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) is the treatment to use when routine cleaning isn’t enough to get the job done. If you’re showing signs of gingivitis, SRP is a simple and effective treatment that stops the disease in its tracks and prevents it from worsening. SRP removes built-up tartar and plaque from below the gum line, effectively wiping out gingivitis. Using special tools, one of our dental professionals will clean beneath your gum line and smooth your teeth to avoid further buildup. If you think you have gingivitis or want to learn more about SRP, contact us at any of our locations in San Diego, CA.
If you’re experiencing gingivitis symptoms, SRP is the perfect way to get rid of it and restore your dental health. If you notice your gums are swollen or sensitive, receding, bleeding easily from brushing or flossing, or you have chronic bad breath, schedule a dental exam as soon as possible.
At your exam, we’ll measure how deep your gum pockets are. If they’re more than 3mm deep, SRP may be the best course of action. This treatment will help decrease the size of your gum pockets, leaving less room for plaque and bacteria to take hold and discouraging any further gingival development. In its early stages, periodontal disease can be reversed with SRP, which is why keeping up with your regular dental exams and cleanings is so important.
