What Is Deep Periodontal Cleaning?

Periodontal deep cleaning, also known as Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), is a non-surgical treatment for gum and bone disease (periodontitis). It goes beyond a routine cleaning to remove harmful biofilm (bacteria, tartar, and plaque) from deep below the gumline and re-establish biocompatible surface for the gum tissue to heal and re-attach to the tooth.

Why It's Needed

Periodontal deep cleaning is needed when plaque and bacteria accumulate beneath the gums, causing inflammation that leads the gums to pull away from the teeth and form deep pockets. Without treatment, this progression can result in gum recession, bone loss, loose or shifting teeth, and eventually tooth loss. Addressing the issue early helps protect long-term oral health and stability.

How It Works

Periodontal deep cleaning works by combining two targeted steps: scaling and root planing. Scaling removes hardened tartar and bacteria from above and below the gumline, while root planing smooths the root surfaces to help the gums reattach and prevent future bacterial buildup. Together, these treatments stop the progression of gum disease and support healthier tissue.
