What Is a Deep Dental Cleaning?
A deep dental cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is a detailed procedure that goes beyond the standard dental cleaning. Deep cleanings reach beneath the gums to eliminate hardened plaque and harmful bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and roots. This thorough cleaning helps reduce gum inflammation, stop the progression of gum disease, and restore the health of your gums. We perform deep cleanings gently and thoroughly, always prioritizing your comfort and peace of mind.
When Do You Need
a Deep Dental Cleaning?
Deep dental cleanings become necessary when plaque buildup has caused inflammation or early stages of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). If you’re experiencing any symptoms, our friendly team can help you determine whether a deep cleaning is right for you. Common signs that you may benefit from a deep cleaning include:
-
Red, swollen, or tender gums
-
Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
-
Persistent bad breath
-
Receding gums or sensitive teeth
