What to Know About Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

A deep cleaning — also called scaling and root planing — goes below the gumline to remove tartar buildup that regular cleanings can't reach. It's the primary treatment for gum disease (periodontitis) and is often done in quadrants over multiple visits.

Practices in Huntington Woods offering deep cleaning will typically start with a periodontal evaluation to measure gum pocket depths. If pockets are deeper than 4mm, a deep cleaning is usually recommended.

Things to Ask When Calling

  • Ask if local anesthetic is included — deep cleaning can be uncomfortable
  • Find out if a follow-up periodontal maintenance schedule is included
  • Ask about the difference between deep cleaning and a standard cleaning
