What is a Deep Teeth Cleaning?
A deep teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline.
Scaling removes deposits that attach to the tooth surfaces, especially under the gums, using ultrasonic tools that can also deliver antimicrobial agents to reduce bacteria.
Afterward, root planing smooths the tooth roots by clearing away bacteria and toxins, which supports healing and makes it harder for new buildup to form. In some cases, our team uses local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Why is a Deep Cleaning Necessary?
Deep cleanings are often recommended for patients with gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease.
When gum pockets become deeper than 3mm, they create spaces where plaque and bacteria gather, making them nearly impossible to keep clean at home. Left untreated, buildup leads to inflammation, damage to gum and bone tissue, and a higher risk of tooth loss.
A deep cleaning helps stop infection and gives your gums a healthier foundation to support your smile.
Benefits of Deep Teeth Cleanings
Protects Gum Health
Removing bacteria and tartar helps calm gum inflammation, slows the progression of gum disease, and supports healthier gums in the long term.
Helps Prevent Tooth Loss
By cleaning deep pockets and smoothing the roots, deep cleanings lower the risk of bone and tissue damage that can loosen teeth.
Freshens Breath
Clearing away bacteria and trapped debris reduces persistent odors, leaving your mouth noticeably fresher.
Improves Appearance
Scaling and root planing also lift surface stains and buildup, giving your teeth a cleaner, brighter look.
