Optimal Health With Deep Teeth Cleaning

Although it is important to maintain good dental health habits throughout the year, it is also important to schedule a regular cleaning procedure and exam with your dentist. During these cleanings, your dentist has an opportunity to monitor your teeth, gums, tongue, and jawbone and determine early on if there are any signs of damage or decay.

If your dentist determines that there is excessive debris and bacteria that needs to be removed, they may schedule a deep teeth cleaning appointment. Deep teeth cleaning, which is sometimes referred to as root planing or scaling, involves your dentist going below your gum line to remove bacteria and debris, along with any tartar or plague that has collected there. By performing this intervention, your gums will begin the healing process, which in turn will help prevent future periodontal diseases from developing.
