Deep Cleaning in Pleasant Ridge, MI

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 Pleasant Ridge 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.
