Scaling and root planing is often one of the first treatments our dentist recommends after you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing cleans and smooths your teeth and tooth roots to remove disease-causing bacteria and plaque from your mouth and kick-start the healing process. We invite you to call Bay Colony Dentistry at 757-321-1300 for more information about scaling and root planing in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and to make your appointment with Dr. Deborah Blanchard.
