What is a Periodontal Deep Cleaning?

A periodontal deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat gum disease. Unlike a standard cleaning that focuses on the tooth surface above the gumline, a deep cleaning goes further.

This essential treatment involves two main steps:

Scaling: We carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline, targeting the harmful bacteria that cause inflammation.
Root Planing: We smooth the tooth roots to help your gums reattach firmly to your teeth and prevent future bacteria from accumulating.

A deep cleaning is the first line of defense against periodontal disease and is crucial for preventing more serious issues like tooth loss.
