Deep cleaning is a dental procedure used to treat gum disease and is different from the regular cleaning performed every six months. Deep cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar buildup on and just under the gum line. This buildup can cause inflammation, bleeding gums, discomfort, bad breath, and other dental issues. If left untreated, it can lead to bone loss in your jaw and ultimately tooth loss.
If you have any of these symptoms, we can begin a gum disease treatment today with a deep cleaning. We remove buildup below the gumline, reduce inflammation, and protect long-term oral health.
