Scaling & Root Planing (SRP)

Why Might You Need Deep Cleaning?

Gum disease can sneak up on anyone, even those with good oral hygiene habits. Certain signs indicate that plaque and tartar have accumulated below the gumline, causing inflammation and potentially leading to gum disease if left untreated. You may need a deep cleaning if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Swollen or tender gums
• Gum recession

The Deep Cleaning Procedure

Our dental hygienists will take great care of you when you come in for a deep cleaning! We’ll begin by examining your gums and measuring the depth of the gum pockets. This helps us determine the severity of the gum disease to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Scaling: Using specialized dental instruments, we’ll remove the plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gum line. Don't worry; we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process!

Root Planing: After scaling, we’ll gently smooth out the tooth roots to eliminate rough surfaces where bacteria can thrive. This step promotes gum reattachment and helps prevent future buildup

Once the deep cleaning is complete, we’ll give you tips and guidance on maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home and may recommend regular check-ups and cleanings.
