Dental Scaling and Root Planing
Dental Scaling & Root Planing Care Green Bay Wisconsin
Some cases of acute periodontal (gum) disease that do not respond to more conventional treatment and self-care such as flossing may require a special kind of cleaning called scaling and root planing.
The procedure begins with administration of a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. Then, a small instrument called a “scaler,” or an ultrasonic cleaner, is used to clean beneath your gum line to remove plaque and tartar.
The root surfaces on the tooth are then planed and smoothed. If effective, scaling and root planing helps the gums reattach themselves to the tooth structure. Additional measures may be needed if the periodontal pockets persist after scaling and root planing.

I am new to Fay Dental. I had a very good experience. I had my teeth cleaned. It was really nice how the hygenist was able to take pictures of a couple of teeth directly opposite each other had some deterioration. She was able to show and explain what was going on and gave me suggestions to get in there better.

I could sit here all day and tell you great things about this dental office! There are more high-tech tools that make the visit more relaxing as well as to get the mouth cleaner. The staff is great, I am so glad I switched to this dentist!

An absolutely awesome experience. Strongly recommend Dr Fay to all that have reservations about completing any dental procedure(s). I retired, still with dental insurance , putting off dental work because of past experiences. After online research I narrowed it to Dr Fay and staff, could not be happier, perfect choice. At my age I have been to a number of dental providers, some good some not. Dr Fay and staff including Theresa and the folks at the desk are an incredible group, the absolute best I've ever visited ... ever!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Fay Dental. I was able to see my original dentist, Dr. Mike, who I first saw in 1986! Jennifer was very conscientious while doing my cleaning. I already have my appointment for my return visit in February, 2020!

Amazing care! I went home with no pain or bad taste in my mouth like some other dentists cause. The staff was super friendly! My hygienist was kind and considerate while cleaning my teeth. There was almost no wait. The appointment itself took a little less than an hour, but it felt fifteen minutes. I definitely recommend Fay Dental Care to everyone out there! My parents go there, and now I go there. It's a fantastic place.
