Deep cleaning treatment is a much-needed treatment that you should get when you are maintaining your oral health. The deep cleaning treatment (also known as periodontal or scaling and root planning is a special cleaning of the teeth. Your dentist or periodontist will offer you this treatment if you have not had a dental examination in a while and have accumulated a significant amount of plaque build-up, and have moderate gum disease. Your dentist or periodontist will complete an evaluation of your mouth and make recommendations based on your needs. When you have completed your deep cleaning treatment, it is vital to follow all the recommendation instructions, including regular dental checkups and routines, to ensure that the therapy is adequately healed. Periodontal disease is preventable, treatable, and curable once it is detected at an early stage.
