Your general dentist can provide different types of dental cleanings depending on your unique oral health needs. When regular cleanings are no longer enough to remove buildup below the gumline, a deep cleaning may be necessary to restore gum health.

Deep Cleaning Near Me, 60525 - How It Works

If you’re suffering from gum disease, your dentist may recommend a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing.

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that involves carefully removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline (scaling) and smoothing the tooth roots (root planing) to help the gums reattach to the teeth.

This procedure is recommended for patients who exhibit signs of periodontal disease, including deeper gum pockets (greater than 3mm), bleeding or inflamed gums, gum recession, buildup of plaque and tartar beneath the gums, and/or early bone loss around the teeth.

Deep cleaning helps stop the progression of gum disease, promotes healing of the gums, and supports long-term oral health.
