When gum disease develops, the body deposits a mineral layer under the gums. This layer is called tartar. Tartar causes the gums to become swollen. The first step in treating the gum disease is to remove this layer of tartar. The procedure for removing tartar is called Scaling and Root Planing and is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. The periodontal team at Southfield Family Dental center provides a very thorough and very gentle scaling and root planing treatment.
