What Are Cleanings & Periodontal Treatments?

Professional dental cleanings and periodontal treatments are essential preventive and therapeutic procedures designed to maintain optimal oral health. These treatments remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate.

Our comprehensive approach includes routine cleanings, deep scaling, root planing, and advanced periodontal therapy to prevent and treat gum disease while maintaining the health of your teeth and supporting structures.

Early Detection

Regular visits allow for early detection of cavities, oral cancer, and other dental issues when they’re easier to treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about dental cleanings and periodontal treatments.

Most patients should have professional cleanings every 6 months. However, if you have gum disease or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits every 3-4 months.

We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience only mild sensitivity that subsides within a few days after treatment.

Regular cleaning focuses on surfaces above the gum line, while deep cleaning (scaling and root planning) removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths root surfaces.

A routine cleaning typically takes 45-60 minutes. Deep cleaning may require 1-2 hours or multiple appointments depending on the extent of treatment needed.

After routine cleaning, you can eat normally. Following deep cleaning, we recommend soft foods for 24-48 hours and avoiding very hot, cold, or spicy foods until sensitivity subsides.
