Contact UsWhat Is Scaling and Root Planing?
If periodontal (gum) disease is detected in the initial phase, often known as gingivitis, it may be resolved with an in-office dental cleaning and improved oral health routines; however, if your gum disease progresses to the following phase, known as periodontitis, Dr. Savitha Bathini may suggest scaling and root planing (SRP) therapy. Scaling and root planing is a popular periodontal disease procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from under your gumline. To carry out this treatment, Dr. Bathini evens out the surfaces of your tooth roots within the gum pockets using specially designed dental instruments. Scaling and root planing will produce an improved environment for your gums and help stop the progression of gum disease. If you exhibit symptoms of gum disease, set up an appointment at OraCare Dentistry in Plano, TX.
What Is the Scaling and Root Planing Treatment Process?
This periodontal disease treatment at our Plano, TX facility is frequently performed in sections of the mouth over the course of 1 – 4 appointments. To ensure that you feel comfortable, Dr. Bathini can numb your mouth with a general anesthetic. Sedation will also be offered in the event that you are anxious when having dental treatment. As soon as you are prepped to begin, we will use an ultrasonic root scaler and hand instruments to delicately remove buildup and plaque from within your gum pockets. Your tooth root surfaces will then be smoothed (planed) to lessen the areas where harmful bacteria can collect. Antibiotics might additionally be distributed deep into the periodontal pockets to encourage dental health and halt bacterial growth.

Everyone here is super professional and very welcoming! Having a lot of anxiety going into the appointment, they were very reassuring and patient along the way. Definitely would recommend this practice to anyone!
Dr. Bathini and her staff are the BEST! She is extremely thorough, has amazing bedside manner, and you truly feel cared for. Her office is immaculately clean and she uses really state of the art technology to take images and x-rays of your mouth. She also spent a lot of time TEACHING me about my mouth and proper brushing technique. Her staff is also very warm, and kind. They offered me water while I was waiting and made me feel very comfortable before seeing the doctor. I only come to Plano a few times a year, but I wish I lived here because I would go to her all of the time!
Great experience! The staff was very accommodating and nice. They put on a movie and explained everything about my oral health in friendly terms. Highly recommend!
