Deep Cleaning And Root Planing is a professional dental treatment to manage gum disease that has advanced beyond mild stages. The treatment goes further than a normal dental cleaning because it focuses on areas that cannot be reached by brushing or flossing alone. Plaque and tartar build up not only on the visible surfaces of teeth but also underneath the gum line, where harmful bacteria thrive. These bacteria produce toxins that cause the gums to swell, bleed, and eventually pull away from the teeth, creating deep pockets that trap even more bacteria. Deep cleaning targets these hidden areas, removing the infection and allowing the gums to begin healing.

This treatment is especially important for protecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and without proper care, the infection can spread deeper, affecting the jawbone. By removing harmful deposits and smoothing the roots, the dentist at our affiliated clinic creates a healthier environment for the gums to reattach to the teeth. As a result, deep cleaning not only stops the disease from progressing but also helps preserve natural teeth, reduce chronic bad breath, and improve overall oral health.

Deep Cleaning And Root Planing begins by a consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic to evaluate a patient's oral health. Then, local anesthesia will be applied to ensure comfort during treatment. The mouth is often divided into sections, known as quadrants, and each quadrant is cleaned carefully in separate appointments if needed. On average, a session takes about 1 to 2 hours, and depending on the severity of gum disease. During the treatment, the dentist at our affiliated clinic removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, then smooths the tooth roots to discourage bacteria from attaching again.

The main benefit of this treatment is the restoration of gum health, as the gums are able to reattach more firmly to the teeth after healing. This reduces gum pockets, lowers the risk of infection, improves breath freshness, and helps prevent future bone loss. In most cases, downtime is minimal. Mild soreness, swelling, or tooth sensitivity may occur for 1 to 3 days, but normal daily activities can be resumed immediately. With proper oral care and follow-up appointments every 6 months, the results of deep cleaning can last for many years, significantly improving both oral health and overall well-being.
