Deep Dental Cleaning in Hawthorne, CA
A deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialized treatment designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline. It is commonly recommended for patients with gum disease, deep periodontal pockets, bleeding gums, or inflammation that cannot be addressed with routine dental cleaning.
During the procedure, our dental team carefully cleans the surfaces of your teeth and roots beneath the gums. The roots may also be gently smoothed to help remove bacteria and create a healthier surface for the gums to reattach. Depending on your needs, treatment may be completed in one visit or divided into multiple appointments. Local anesthesia may be used to help keep you comfortable.
Deep cleaning can help reduce gum inflammation, control infection, prevent further bone loss, and protect your teeth from the progression of periodontal disease. After treatment, we may recommend improved home-care techniques and follow-up visits to help maintain your oral health.
If you have noticed bleeding, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, a deep dental cleaning may be an important step toward restoring you gum health. Contact HAWTHORNE FAMILY DENTAL CARE to schedule an evaluation and learn whether this treatment is right for you.
