Scaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus from deep periodontal (gum) pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins.

Scaling and root planing is sometimes followed by adjunctive therapy such as systemic antibiotics, as needed on a case-by-case basis.
