What Is a Deep Cleaning?
A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialized dental treatment designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, deep cleaning targets areas that cannot be reached through daily brushing and flossing.
At Greenwood Family Dentistry, we provide gentle and effective deep cleaning treatments to help patients maintain healthier gums and prevent serious dental complications.
Why Deep Cleaning Matters
When plaque and tartar accumulate beneath the gums, they can lead to inflammation, infection, and gum disease. Deep cleaning helps eliminate harmful bacteria and supports the healing process.
