What is a deep cleaning?

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your smile, it can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line, stopping gum disease in its tracks. This non-surgical treatment helps restore gum health and prevent further damage.

Benefits of our Green Valley dental deep cleanings

Stops gum disease in its tracks

By removing harmful bacteria and tartar, this treatment halts the progression of gum disease, preventing it from advancing to more severe stages.

Protects your teeth and bone

Gum disease can destroy the bone supporting your teeth. Scaling and root planing helps preserve your natural teeth and the foundation that holds them in place.

Fresher breath

Bacteria buildup is a leading cause of bad breath. A deep cleaning eliminates these odor-causing culprits, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

Improves overall health

Research shows a strong link between gum disease and systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can positively impact your overall well-being.
