Gum Disease

For patients with a history of gum disease, where the supporting tissues of the teeth begin to deteriorate, or for those with more advanced needs, we offer comprehensive treatments following a detailed assessment with our dentist and hygienist. If needed, we may also refer you to a specialist periodontist for further care.

Deep Cleaning Explained in simple!

  • Deep Cleaning: Also known as scaling and root planing, deep cleaning is essential for tackling gum disease. We clean out the plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line, stopping gum disease in its tracks and leaving your mouth feeling spotless.
  • Air Polishing: Want to take it up a notch? Air polishing uses a high-powered stream of air, water, and fine powder to blast away stains and plaque, giving your teeth a smooth, polished finish. It’s like a power wash for your smile!
  • Root Planing: If your gums need extra special attention, the hygienist may recommend Root Planning. This is the deep dive of dental cleanings, targeting the gunk below your gum line that regular brushing just can’t reach. We smooth out the roots of your teeth to remove bacteria and help your gums reattach, giving you healthier gums and fresher breath.

FAQs

How long does a deep cleaning take?

It depends on how much work we’re doing, but typically, it takes one to two visits. We’ll let you know what to expect and make sure you’re comfortable throughout.

What’s the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning?

Regular cleaning focuses on the surfaces of your teeth and above the gum line. Deep cleaning goes further, targeting the roots of your teeth and the pockets between your gums and teeth to treat and prevent gum disease.

Is air polishing safe for everyone?

Absolutely! Air polishing is gentle yet effective and can be used on most patients, including those with sensitive teeth. It’s a great way to remove surface stains and give your smile a little extra shine.

Does root planing hurt?

Not with us! We use local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable. You might feel a little tenderness afterward, but it’s totally manageable, and the results are so worth it.

How do I know if I need root planing or deep cleaning?

If you have gum disease, receding gums, or deep pockets around your teeth, you likely need these treatments. Our hygienist will assess your gums and recommend the best plan for you.

Who Is This Treatment For?

If you’re dealing with gum disease, bad breath, or just want a super clean mouth, this treatment is for you. Root planing and deep cleaning are especially important if your gums are showing signs of trouble—like bleeding, swelling, or pulling away from your teeth. And air polishing? That’s for anyone who wants their smile to shine extra bright!
