Do You Need a Deep Cleaning
Gum Disease Treatment and Prevention
When plaque and tartar accumulate below the gumline, gum disease can develop. A deep cleaning may be necessary to stop the progression and protect your teeth.
Common signs of gum disease:
- Red or swollen gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Gum recession or teeth that feel loose
- Persistent bad breath
A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, removes harmful buildup from below the gums and smooths the tooth roots. This helps the gums heal and attach more firmly. For patients with moderate or advanced gum disease, regular deep cleanings are often needed to keep the condition under control.
If you think you may need a deep cleaning, schedule your appointment as soon as possible to protect your gum health.
