Professional teeth cleanings and scaling are essential for healthy gums and a beautiful smile.
What is Teeth Cleaning & Scalling Treatment?
Teeth cleaning and scaling, often referred to as a “deep cleaning,” is a specialized dental procedure that goes beyond your regular check-up.  It involves removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from both above and below the gum line. Scaling utilizes specialized tools to meticulously scrape away these deposits, while root planing smooths the tooth’s root surface to prevent further plaque buildup and encourage healthy gum reattachment. This comprehensive approach is crucial for treating gum disease and maintaining optimal oral health.Â
