Deep Cleaning professionally called Scaling and Root Planning

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure performed by a dental professionals : Dentist or Dental Hygienist to treat gum disease, also known as periodontal disease.

Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth, both above and below the gumline. This process helps to eliminate bacteria and toxins that contribute to gum inflammation and disease.

Root planing, on the other hand, involves smoothing out the rough spots on the roots of the teeth to remove any remaining bacteria and toxins. This helps the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth properly.

Scaling and root planing is a common treatment for early to moderate stages of gum disease and can help prevent further progression of the disease. It is usually performed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. After the treatment, patients may be advised to follow up with regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene practices to maintain the health of their gums.
