Gum disease is a serious problem that can lead to tooth loss and other health problems if left untreated.
If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Untreated gum disease can progress to more serious forms of the disease and can lead to tooth loss and other health problems.
Our team at Advanced Petrie Dental provides a deep cleaning scaling and root planing treatment for our patients that helps to reverse mild and moderate forms of gum disease. This treatment is safe, effective, and affordable.
What Is Dental Scaling?
Dental scaling is a professional teeth cleaning procedure that removes tartar, plaque, and other debris from the teeth and gums. Scaling is usually performed by a dentist or dental hygienist using special instruments.
Scaling is an important part of maintaining good oral health and preventing gum disease. It is also often used as a treatment for gum disease.
What Is Root Planing?
Root planing is a procedure that involves the removal of tartar and plaque from the roots of the teeth. Root planing is usually performed by a dentist or dental hygienist using special instruments.
Root planing is important for maintaining good oral health and preventing gum disease. It is also often used as a treatment for gum disease.
Dental Deep Cleaning Vs. Routine Dental Cleaning
Dental deep cleaning is a more extensive form of teeth cleaning than a routine dental cleaning. A routine dental cleaning only cleans the surface of the teeth, while a deep cleaning scaling and root planing treatment cleans the teeth and gums.
We usually recommend deep cleanings for patients who have gum disease or are at risk for developing gum disease. We sometimes recommend deep cleanings for patients who have not had a routine dental cleaning in a long time.
