What Are Periodontal Cleanings?
Periodontal cleanings, also known as deep cleanings or scaling and root planing, are essential treatments designed to clean between the gums and teeth down to the roots. Unlike regular dental cleanings, periodontal cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line, which is crucial for patients experiencing gum disease or significant gum discomfort.
Benefits of Periodontal Cleanings
- Prevents Disease Progression: Helps halt the progression of gum disease by thoroughly cleaning the pockets of bacteria.
- Reduces Gum Inflammation and Bleeding: Targets the cause of inflammation and bleeding, promoting healthier gums.
- Protects Against Tooth Loss: By maintaining gum health, periodontal cleanings help protect your teeth from becoming loose and eventually falling out.
- Improves Overall Health: Reduces the risk of heart disease and other health issues linked to periodontal disease.

Our Periodontal Cleaning Process
The process begins with a comprehensive examination to assess the health of your gums and diagnose any signs of periodontal disease.
Treatment Procedure:
- Scaling: This step involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line using specialized tools.
- Root Planing: Smoothing out the tooth roots helps the gums reattach to the teeth, reducing the depth of the gum pockets.
- Follow-Up Care: We provide personalized instructions for home care and schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your gum health.
