After you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, one of the first treatments our dentists may recommend is scaling and root planing. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical gum treatment that removes plaque and bacteria from your teeth and tooth roots to kick-start the healing process and reduce the gum disease in your mouth. To make an appointment with Dr. Ali Maddahi and learn more about scaling and root planing in Framingham, Massachusetts, call us today at 508-270-6770.
