Scaling & Root Planing — Stop Gum Disease in Its Tracks

Deep cleaning goes beyond a regular cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline — the areas where gum disease lives. Root planing smooths the tooth root surface so gum tissue can reattach and heal properly.

Signs You May Need a Deep Cleaning
  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Gum recession (teeth look longer)
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth or shifting bite
  • Gum pockets deeper than 4mm

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, your gums may be tender for a few days. We recommend gentle eating and soft foods for 48 hours.
Deep cleaning is typically done in two appointments — one side of the mouth per visit, usually a week apart. This allows one side to begin healing while we treat the other.
Deep cleaning stops gum disease progression when followed by proper home care and regular maintenance cleanings (usually every 3–4 months instead of 6). Gum disease is manageable but not curable — consistent care is essential.
Yes — most dental insurance plans cover scaling and root planing at least partially when it's medically necessary due to gum disease. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment.
