If it has been over a year since your last dental cleaning, a gross debridement may be necessary to assess your teeth’s overall condition and determine if scaling and root planing are needed.

For cases where the bacterial infection has resulted in deeper gum pockets, causing some recession, we may recommend scaling and root planing. This procedure involves removing accumulated debris from beneath the gum tissue.

Regular teeth cleanings involve using a specialized periodontal scaler to eliminate tartar and plaque. This treatment focuses on the surface, making it suitable for patients with mild gingivitis or healthy gums. Typically, we recommend these cleanings twice a year.
