Not all cleanings are the same!
A deep cleaning (scaling & root planing) goes below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup where gum disease hides — unlike a regular cleaning, which focuses above the gums.
If you’ve been told you have gum disease or deep pockets between your teeth and gums, a deep cleaning might be the first step back to a healthier smile.
