Questions before booking
A routine cleaning removes plaque and tartar from visible tooth surfaces and slightly below the gumline. Scaling and root planing cleans deeper deposits along tooth roots below the gums.
Most patients have little to no discomfort during treatment because local anesthetic can be used. Mild tenderness or sensitivity afterward is common.
Some patients need one course of treatment, while chronic or advanced periodontal disease may require ongoing periodontal maintenance to control recurrence.
