When plaque and tartar build up below the gum line, standard cleanings are no longer enough to address the infection. Scaling and root planing is the first line of defense against active gum disease, removing harmful deposits from tooth roots and creating a clean surface where gum tissue can reattach and heal.
At North Creek Dental Care, board-certified periodontist Dr. Charles H. Goodman performs scaling and root planing for patients throughout Tinley Park and the Southland area. Our periodontist in Tinley Park treats each case with the precision and care of a specialist, helping patients stop gum disease in its tracks before surgical intervention becomes necessary. A proud Southland’s Best 2024 and 2025 winner, we are here to help you take back your gum health.
