How Does Deep Cleaning Treat Gum Disease

Periodontal disease can be managed effectively, but it cannot be completely cured. After your initial treatment, your dentist will recommend regular maintenance cleanings to prevent the disease from returning or progressing.

We encourage scheduling routine periodontal care visits alongside your regular dental check-ups to ensure your gums and teeth receive consistent, proper care for optimal oral health.

Deep Cleaning for Healthy Gum

A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is a professional procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. It is often recommended for patients with gum disease or those at risk of developing it. During the treatment, our experienced dental team uses specialized instruments to thoroughly clean beneath the gums and eliminate harmful bacteria, promoting healthier gums and teeth.

How Deep Cleaning Protects Your Oral Health

Plaque and bacteria that accumulate along the gum line can cause gum disease, which may result in swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.

Deep cleaning offers several important benefits, including:

  • Prevents gum disease: Helps stop the progression of gum disease and supports overall oral health.
  • Reduces health risks: Can lower your risk of related health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
  • Improves breath and appearance: Many patients experience fresher breath, whiter teeth, and a healthier, more confident smile after a deep cleaning.
