What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical periodontal treatment designed to halt the progression of gum disease and restore gum health. Unlike routine dental cleanings that address plaque and tartar above the gum line, deep cleaning targets harmful bacteria, buildup, and inflammation beneath the surface. Using special instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line (scaling) and smooth the root surfaces (root planing) to discourage bacteria from reattaching. This promotes healing, helps the gums reattach to the tooth roots, and reduces the depth of periodontal pockets. Deep cleaning is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. At Senatobia Family Dentistry, this treatment is often the first step in managing early to moderate stages of periodontal disease. By thoroughly removing bacterial buildup and creating a clean surface for healing, deep cleaning can help preserve natural teeth, prevent bone loss, and reduce inflammation. It’s an essential tool in our fight against gum disease and plays a major role in protecting both your oral and overall health.
