Scaling and root plaining (deep cleaning) is recommended to treat and prevent progression of periodontal disease and further bone loss.  It is usually done one quadrant of the mouth at a time while the area is numb.  In this procedure, calculus (tartar), plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line.
