Deep Cleaning in Burbank
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical periodontal treatment used to address plaque and bacteria buildup below the gumline. At Green California Dental Group in Burbank, deep cleaning is recommended when early signs of gum disease are present and routine dental cleanings are no longer sufficient.
Scaling and Root Planing for Improved Gum Health
Targeted Gum Treatment to Control Infection and Inflammation
When bacteria collect beneath the gums, they can cause inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss if left untreated. Deep cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing tooth roots to help gums heal and reattach more effectively.
What’s Included
Deep Cleaning in Burbank
Scaling Below the Gumline
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar from tooth surfaces and deep periodontal pockets where bacteria cannot be reached with routine brushing or standard cleanings.
Root Planing for Smoother Tooth Surfaces
Root planing smooths the root surfaces of teeth to discourage future bacterial buildup and help gum tissue heal and tighten around the teeth.
Focused Treatment by Area
Deep cleaning is often performed in sections of the mouth to allow for thorough care and patient comfort during treatment.
Ongoing Periodontal Monitoring
After treatment, gum health is monitored to evaluate healing and determine whether additional periodontal care is needed.
