What is deep teeth cleaning?

Deep cleaning done by the team at Advanced Dental Group in New Jersey begins with a thorough general cleaning that may include scaling or root planing along with possible local anesthesia. These procedures can be used as a stand-alone treatment, or as preventative measures against moderate to severe periodontal disease.

Scaling targets the area below the gum line that sits along the root and requires special dental instruments. Plaque and calculus that are currently stuck to the tooth’s surface are subsequently removed during the procedure.

Root planing, on the other hand, smooths the root of the tooth in order to promote healing and prevent bacteria from colonizing the affected area. This is done to remove cementum and surface dentin that has been populated with tartar and other unwanted toxins and microorganisms.
