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.
What to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Typical Experience
After evaluating gum health, we numb the area for comfort and thoroughly clean beneath the gumline to remove infection-causing buildup. Healing is monitored and follow-up care is provided to help restore gum stability and long-term support.
How long it takes
Scaling removes hardened buildup beneath the gumline, and root planing smooths tooth surfaces to help gums reattach and reduce infection-causing bacteria.
Keep in Mind
Ongoing periodontal maintenance is critical after deep cleaning. Without consistent follow-up and improved home care, gum infect can return and progress.
Recovery
Mild soreness or sensitivity is common for a few days. Soft foods, gentle brushing, and following care instructions help promote healing and gum reattachment.
