Periodontal scaling goes deeper than a typical cleaning. The scraping is done not only at the gum line, but below it, closer to the root. This more extensive procedure to remove hardened plaque and calculus.
Root planing involves smoothing the exposed surface of the roots after the plaque has been removed. This helps the gum tissue reattach to the root and tooth so healing can begin.
So it's better if you will go for both the procedures.

My son is 17 now. We have noticed that his gum is becoming black. He doesn't smoke yet. Is it a kind of infection or disease? Can you please suggest a good doctor in Ankara?

it could be a periodontal disease, clinical examination is a must in such cases. after that maybe a deep subgingival scaling or a flap surgery on the gums would help solve this problem

Hello, I’m enquiring about jaw/chin surgery - I had my jaw broken about 10 years ago in an assault and am very unhappy with the asymmetries in my face.

Female | 31

It is recommended that you consult with a maxillofacial surgeon to address any concerns related to jaw/chin surgery. Given your history of a past injury, it is important to thoroughly evaluate any anatomical changes to ensure that the desired outcome can be achieved. In order to determine the best course of action, a thorough consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon is recommended.

Do you have a toothache or suffer from gums hurting? If so, it means you need a dentist visit. Tooth pain can come from cavities or infections in your teeth. Sometimes, not brushing and flossing properly can also cause these problems. In order to rectify that, the dentists might clean your teeth, fill the holes, and apply medicine for the pain that you experience.

How long does a root canal last without a crown?

Male | 37

a root canal done tooth is brittle and can break easily when hard food is chewed .

so root canal will last as long as it doesnot break with pressure of hard food 

by capping the tooth it will not break inspite of having hard food ( depends on quality of cap)
