What Is A Deep Dental Cleaning?

When gum disease strikes, seeking treatment that protects the teeth and gums from further deterioration is essential.

It has been proven time and time again that regular scaling and root planing treatments can improve your oral health in just a few visits with your deep cleaning dentist.

The Importance of Scaling and Root Planing

KEEP TEETH HEALTHY

Nothing can stop you after your teeth receive the treatment they deserve—bacteria and plaque won’t even stand a chance! After a dental deep cleaning, bacteria and plaque are less likely to stick to the smooth surfaces of the teeth, which provides added protection against gum disease and tooth decay.



DECREASE INFLAMMATION

After scaling and root planing, inflammation should soon disappear, yielding health benefits throughout the body.

LESS GUM RECESSION

Keeping your smile clean and healthy doesn't just keep you looking great. A well-executed dental deep cleaning helps gums stay firmly connected too! Smooth roots are the key to solid gum attachment.
