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.

You may have a gum abscess, a “pocket” filled with yellow or white-colored fluid beneath the gums. Poor dental hygiene, periodontal disease, and bacterial infection can cause this condition. Its symptoms include pain, swelling, redness, and general discomfort. To relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, you can rinse your mouth with warm salty water and see a dentist immediately.

My problem is mouth ulcer is coming every 15 days and leg and leg feet burning sensation pain
Male | 20
These are because of stress caused by being in the company of others and not keeping our teeth clean or not having enough of some vitamins. Pain that makes it feel as if one’s leg is on fire may result from damage to the nerves through which such messages pass or an interruption in normal blood flow which provides oxygen and nutrients to affected areas. Soften up while brushing your teeth but don’t eat anything spicy when you have ulcers. If they’re still painful after two weeks then see a dentist.

Yes, given the symptoms you have shared, it is advisable that you need to visit an orthodontist. They are experts in the diagnosis and correction of irregular positions of the teeth and jaws.

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.
