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.

What Our Patients Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Posted on Google Janio CardonaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’have been a patient of Greenwood Family Dentistry (1902 Greenwood Aven Trenton, Nj)for over two decades, and it’s truly been one of the best dental experiences I’ve had . Back when Dr Richard Nedelman owned the practice , he was an absolute professional- whether it was a routine cleaning, root canals,filling in different materials or any other dental treatment, he always did exceptional work.He was patient,skilled , and even offered flexible payments arrangements to make things more comfortable for his patients. It was incredibly care, and I trusted him completely. After Dr Nedelman got retired a few years ago I was a bit worried about the change,but the new owner, Dr Farad Shariff has been just as outstanding. She is an excellent professional who take her time throughoutly explain every procedure, answer all questions and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed. The entirely staff is efficient,friendly and very punctual- appointments start on time with almost no waiting time.If something comes up and you need to reschedule, they handle it courteously and work with you to find a better date and time.Overall the level of customer service and quality of treatments remains Top-Noch.
