Deep Teeth Cleaning

Deep teeth cleaning, scaling and root planing is often recommended if you are suffering from gum disease. Gum disease refers to a disease that infects the gums, which can result in gums that are bleeding or swollen. If left untreated long enough periodontal disease can result in the deterioration of the jawbone and the eventual loss of the tooth.

Your mouth is continually accumulating bacteria. These bacteria, if left alone for too long, can mineralize and begin to develop into plaque and tartar. Plaque can be removed through daily brushing and flossing, but when plaque has become tartar, you will need East Columbus Periodontic and Implant Dentistry to intervene to remove the advanced decay.

We are located at 1600 Brice Rd Suite 1 Reynoldsburg, OH 43068. Please call us today at 614-864-2561 to establish an appointment for an evaluation of the benefits of a deep teeth cleaning, scaling and root planing procedure.

One of the best methods for addressing this periodontal disease is to remove the tartar through a process referred to as scaling. The scaling procedure involves our team using specialty tools that are designed to gently remove the tartar from your teeth without affecting the enamel. When this scaling is performed below the root line, this is referred to as planing.
