Treatment
Teeth Cleaning (Deep)
A deeper cleaning below the gumline to treat early gum disease and help your gums heal.
A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline.
Your hygienist numbs the area, cleans the roots, and smooths them so the gums can reattach.
It treats early gum disease, reduces bleeding, and helps stop bone loss before it gets worse.
