Reduce the risk of periodontitis and gingivitis by removing dental plaque and tartar with professional deep cleaning treatment.
Clemmons Village Smiles
A dental deep cleaning is an effective treatment used to treat gum disease, especially in its early stages before it progresses into advanced gum disease or causes tooth loss. Unlike routine cleanings or a regular dental cleaning, this procedure goes deeper and targets harmful buildup beneath the gum tissue.
This process focuses on removing plaque, tartar buildup, and harmful bacteria from both the visible tooth surfaces and below the gums where periodontal pockets and deep pockets can form.
If you’ve been told you need a deep cleaning, this procedure can help restore your oral health, improve gum health, and protect your teeth and gums from long-term damage.
Scaling is the process of removing plaque and hardened plaque (tartar) from the teeth, especially below the gum line and along the tooth roots.
This step helps reduce infection risk, eliminate harmful bacteria, and support disease control. At Clemmons Village Smiles, we use advanced tools to ensure thorough and comfortable dental cleaning.
Root planing involves smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth to remove rough areas where bacteria collect.
This part of root planing scaling:
Helps the gums heal
Encourages the gums reattach to the teeth
Reduces gum pockets
Improves long-term gum health
By cleaning the tooth roots, this step prevents further buildup and protects against periodontal disease progression.

Frequently asked questions
A regular dental cleaning is a preventive treatment designed to maintain oral health by removing plaque and plaque and tartar from the visible tooth surfaces above the gum line.
Dental deep cleaning is an effective treatment used to treat gum disease once it has progressed beyond the early stages. This procedure goes beneath the gum line to clean tooth roots and root surfaces, targeting tartar buildup, hardened plaque, and harmful bacteria trapped in periodontal pockets or deep pockets.
Deep cleaning is useful for anybody who might be experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or suffering from inflammation.
Scaling and root planing can also result in a more aesthetically pleasing mouth by removing stains and reducing bad breath.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that in time end up destroying the natural tooth. It affects the tissue and can cause plaque-induced inflammation. This is similar to gingivitis which is a less serious case, but can progress into periodontitis if untreated.
Common signs of gum disease can start subtly but worsen over time if left untreated. In the early stages, you may notice bleeding gums, swollen gums, or mild gum inflammation when brushing or flossing. Many patients also experience persistent bad breath or general bad breath caused by harmful bacteria trapped along the gum line.
Maintaining strong gum health is essential for your overall oral health as untreated gum disease has been linked to issues like heart disease and diabetes complications.
To keep your gums healthy, follow these key steps schedule regular dental cleaning, practice daily brushing and flossing, using gentle brushing techniques to protect the gum tissue, and attend follow up visits if you’ve had deep cleaning teeth or scaling and root planing.
