Scaling and Root Planing at Home | Mobile Deep Cleaning

When gum health concerns require more than a routine cleaning, access to gentle care matters.

Tooth Fairy Mobile Dental Hygiene provides scaling and root planing for patients who benefit from receiving treatment in their home or care facility following a dental hygiene assessment and referral when appropriate.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy used to help manage gum infection and remove bacterial buildup beneath the gumline.

Periodontal disease occurs when bacteria accumulate below the gumline, causing inflammation and infection in the tissues that support the teeth. If left untreated, this infection can lead to bone loss, gum recession, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss.

This treatment is recommended when periodontal infection is present and is an important step in stabilizing gum health. When needed, patients may be referred to a dentist for diagnosis or additional treatment.
