What Is a Deep Cleaning?
Over time, bacteria build up below your gum line in places your toothbrush and floss cannot reach. If you’ve missed your regular dental cleanings, you may have pockets between your teeth and gums created by bacterial growth. These pockets must be treated using a process called scaling and root planing, which will stop the spread of infection.
Why Do I Need a Deep Cleaning?
- To maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
- To prevent decay, infection, gum disease, and tooth loss.
- To remove stubborn plaque and tartar that your toothbrush cannot reach.
- To catch problems early, before they become more expensive.
- To ensure whole body health and well-being.
Does It Hurt?
Your hygienist will make sure your gums are numb before beginning treatment. Your gums may feel sore following the deep cleaning, but it won’t last long. If you experience dental anxiety, please tell us! We offer many dental sedation options to keep you relaxed.
