Deep Cleaning
During comprehensive dental examination, if plaque and tartar deposits are found on tooth and root surfaces, scaling and cleaning will be recommended to remove them and keep the gum tissue healthy.
In the cases of more advanced gum disease, it usually involves “deep cleaning” to help gum tissue to heal and periodontal pockets to shrink.
Daily brushing and flossing, when done correctly, can help to maintain your periodontal health.
