Gum Infection Treatment (Deep Cleaning)

Long-term stability depends on how bacterial and structural factors are managed over time.

Also called scaling and root planing, this treatment removes infection and buildup beneath the gumline. It helps control gum disease, reduce inflammation, and rebuild a healthier periodontal foundation.

Scaling removes hardened buildup beneath the gumline, and root planing smooths tooth surfaces to help gums reattach and reduce infection-causing bacteria.

Helps stop the progression of gum infection, reduce inflammation, and protect the bone supporting your teeth, preserving long-term function and health.
