Deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialized non-surgical procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, followed by smoothing the tooth roots to prevent further buildup. This thorough cleaning addresses early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) and prevents its progression into more severe periodontitis, reducing inflammation, promoting gum healing, and encouraging gum reattachment. It helps halt disease advancement, improve gum health, prevent tooth loss, and foster a healthier oral environment, contributing to overall well-being.
