Hygiene Treatment
Deep teeth cleaning, also known as ‘periodontal scaling’ and root planing, is a procedure that is informally referred to as such. In many respects, it resembles the standard cleaning provided by a dental hygienist. Both involve the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line to address or prevent periodontists. However, dental deep cleaning is a more extensive treatment typically employed when bacteria have already initiated a severe infection.
Gingivitis or gum disease denotes an infection in the gums, often resulting from the accumulation of plaque and tartar. This build-up creates an anaerobic environment conducive to bacterial growth around the teeth and beneath the gum line. If left unattended, it can progress to a more severe form of infection known as periodontal disease, potentially leading to tooth loss and other complications.
