Periodontal Deep Cleanings

Periodontal care ("deep cleanings"), also known as scaling and root planing, are a crucial part of treating gum disease and maintaining good oral health. When gum disease develops, bacteria can build up along the gum line, leading to inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and eventually, tooth loss. Periodontal deep cleanings can remove this buildup and prevent the disease from progressing.

During a periodontal deep cleaning, our team will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Depending on how involved your cleaning is, this may require multiple visits to complete.

The benefits of periodontal deep cleanings are numerous. By removing harmful bacteria and debris from below the gum line, they can help prevent further damage to the gums, teeth, and surrounding bone. They can also improve the overall health of the mouth, reducing the risk of other dental problems developing. Additionally, deep cleanings can help improve bad breath, making your mouth feel fresher and cleaner.
