If your gums feel tender or bleed when brushing, you may need a deeper clean. At Shrewsbury Family Dentistry, we offer scaling and root planing — a gentle, non-surgical treatment that removes plaque and bacteria below the gums to restore gum health.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup from deep pockets under the gums, while root planing smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal naturally.
This treatment helps stop gum disease from progressing, preventing bone loss and tooth movement. It also reduces inflammation, improves breath, and strengthens your gum-to-tooth connection.
Shrewsbury Family Dentistry is proud to serve families across southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.
