Post-Op Care for Your Scaling & Root Planing Procedure – Dr. Nita Kalambe
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) is a highly effective treatment to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, helping treat gum disease and improve oral health.
At Shree Dental Care & Implant Center, Dr. Nita Kalambe performs this procedure with advanced ultrasonic scalers and gentle techniques to ensure comfort and long-lasting results.
